Duly done - took more than a moment though, as things always do - along the way I spotted some non-Sigil anomalies, so I sorted them out whilst I was there.
Progress - after removing everything Sigilish, and reinstalling there were no spurious Sigil's in the audio and video Open With lists
Possible Explanation of how they got there - whilst editing the registry I recalled that some time ago, like 2-3 years at least, I 'played' around in Sigil trying to get audio and video working in ePUB 2.0. I tried inserting various file types (quite probably the same ones I tried yesterday) without any success.
After poking around a bit in here and elsewhere I came to the conclusion that multi-media and ePUB 2.0 good bedfellows didn't make, so I gave up trying. Might Windows 7 and/or Sigil 0.8.?? have conspired to add Sigil into the OW lists for the media files that I opened from within Sigil at that time?
A Curiosity - after reinstalling Sigil, it wasn't in the Open With for .EPUB (I declined the offer to make Sigil the default), but it's in HTML's Open With List, haven't checked .HTM and .XHTML. Locating sigil.exe and adding it to the .EPUB OW list was easy enough, for me... but for others...
A Question - in the following screen shot, the only file I added to Audio folder was the Eisenhower MP3 (pity there isn't another one of him), all the rest were added to the Video folder - why aren't the files located in the folders I nominated.
Sadly the pristine install did not fix the right click crashes in the Open file dialogue.
