Win98SE:
1) takes affect immediately (may need to "Refresh" a view)
2) IE 5 thinks it's no longer the default viewer; if you allow
it to set itself back, it adds "NeverShowExt" to .url key
BTW, rather than totally remove it, I just renamed NSE to "REM-NeverShowExt"
so I could find those extensions again later. I did not add "AlwaysShowExt".
Corel also had a number of hidden extensions.
