I'm trying to understand the sequence of what you did. You had Firefox 3.6 and you uninstalled it. Then you installed Firefox 4. It created a desktop shortcut, but the shortcut is not associated with the program.

Is that right or did you install 4 without removing 3.6?

Where does the registry cleaner come into it?
