There's something missing in this fix

I just had a nasty run in with some SubSeven strains... It was doing the same annoying stuff to my executables... Anyway, I ran the reg patch from here that repairs HKCR's 'exefile'... but that didn't do the trick and I wasn't about to reinstall the whole OS! Luckily, I have a good intuition about these kinda things and I'm a VB programmer.... I managed to open up VB by double-clicking a project file and proceeded to jump-start regedit from with VB's shell() function. Low and behold... there was a '.exe' entry in HKCR that was assigned to something called 'rnjfile' or something like that. Show I changed that back to 'exefile'... something this reg patch didn't do.
