Clint,
When you search the registry for Fireworks, .png, etc, make sure you are
searching the data and keys, etc.
I believe it has been more than five days since you did this--but if not,
you can also restore your registry from five days ago.

Subject: PCWorks: PNG files & IE corrupted by "Fireworks"
> I'm posting an update on this. Got no replies (well, one,
> but that didn't work) on this yet. Macromedia "Fireworks"
> has done some serious damage to this computer. The orig
> problem was fireworks had hijacked all .png files. They
> would ONLY open with Fireworks. IE would no longer open and
> view them as it should.

> What I have tried:
>
> I right clicked the image with the shift key down and
> selected 'open with...' then IE, Fireworks still opened it.
> I went to file associations, REMOVED the fireworks entry, set
> .png to open with IE, then nothing at all happened then when
> I clicked a png. I then uninstalled fireworks, then an IE
> browser window opened, but it was empty! A totally blank
> browser window. Since a png is an image file, I copied the
> ALL of the data from the file associations of a gif and jpeg,
> applied that to png (which I have two of form some reason,
> "png file" and "png image"), that didn't work either.
> Evidently a png has different characteristics in the file

> looked ALL OVER fireworks and there was no area to release
> file associations and change them back to let IE open png
