Okay, thanks again.

I delayed a while with the uninstall/reinstall of 3.7.0 so I'm just now getting
a look at the Windows Registry.

POV-Ray.Scene is there after that, listed right after povfile. No problems with
file open or save (as). Apparently that's what happened, lost the POV-Ray.Scene
somehow.

Just got me curious about Windows 10 possibly juggling the pov file associations
around to allow the different versions to work together.

If happens again, easily fixed by exporting that POV-Ray.Scene key now and
importing it back into the Registry. If there ever is a next time.
