The following will restore your CAB file association to its original state:

**********
REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cab]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cab]
@="CLSID\\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}]
@="Cabinet"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}\InProcServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\ShellExt\\cabview.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}\DefaultIcon]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM\\ShellExt\\cabview.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}\shell\open]
@="View"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262}\shell\open\command]
@="explorer /root,{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262},%1"


**********
Note: Include two carriage returns at the end.

Paste the above into Notepad and save it as Cab.reg. Then import it to the registry. If this is "GreeK' to you email me and I'll send you the file with instructions.
