Thanks, zachd.
After searching Google and the MS site -- each company is responsible for
following the proper guidelines to have their software comply and be listed
in the Default Programs listing. However, it's still unclear why an update
to the iTunes software would remove that from the listing. I'll check with
Apple and see if I can get anywhere with them. I've had a post in there
about this issue for about 7 or 8 months now with no solution. Only after
rebuilding my system was I able to get things back to normal. And then after
the latest update, back in the same boat.
All the best.
