I recently reinstalled php 5.2.2 on vista using the .msi installer.

i do not use vista, but it should be similar to xp.
I've removed and reinstalled PHP several times, to no avail. Does
anybody know how to undo "Register *.php files to automatically open
with PHP"?

open the registry editor (regedit on xp). jump to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT-
php (and maybe pgp3. php4 and phtml also). you have to change the
data-key, it must be "ZDE.file". f. e.:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT->php: Name=Default; Type=REG_SZ; Data=ZDE.file

you need administrator priviledges to do this (and i'm sure, on vista
you have to submit a dozen alerts at least :-) ). maybe you have to
restart the system to make this changes work.

if you don't know anything about registry settings, do not change the
registry!!! if you do something wrong, in worst case you'll need to
reinstall windows!!!
