Are you sure that you haven't still got an association, although 
corrupted?  Go back to File Associations and type ogg into the 'find' 
panel.  That should bring up application > ogg.  Filename patters 
should say *.ogg and *.OGG.  Description is Ogg Multimedia.  You will 
probably find that you have a wrong application in the large box.  
Delete it.  Add in any player applications that you have in your menu, 
and use the up/down buttons to put your favourite one at the top.
