Out of curiosity, does it show you the correct icons, or does it show you some generic Windows program icon, or something broken? In any case, click "Change program...", then "Browse" to the current proper locations, and click OK. This should (finally) fix your problem... The uninstall/install should have fixed this, but there are a lot of things that could interfere - perhaps you didn't run it as Administrator, perhaps it tripped over your previously-modified setting, perhaps the installer is buggy, perhaps gremlins are trying to mess with your head...?
