Only did the editor re-installs along with 3.7.0.0 install after everything was
uninstalled. No change there anyhow.

I may have jumped the gun on finding the actual problem because I just did the
restore point to what was good a week ago and that fixed it. Or has for now.

Took a look at the redone registry and found a surprise. Or at least didn't
notice, or mixed myself up about it.
Under HKCR there isn't a POV-Ray listed there, although the .pov and all else
within it is okay. Instead there's a povfile key, with the associated shell
commands.

Can't investigate more, I'm going out my door for the evening and late already!
Typical for me.

Hope to shed more light on this later. Thanks for the registry info!
