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.
