Presumably, PSP wants to make these changes the first time it runs for a
given user. Once it has made the changes, it probably writes a value to the
registry to indicate that it's already been done (or, perhaps, it writes to
a file somewhere, but the registry makes the most sense). Then, when it runs
a second time, it would check for the registry value (or file presence) and
not try to write the associations again.
It might pay to run REGMON and FILEMON while you run PSP for the first
time as an administrator. Save the results as a .txt file and import them
into Access, which makes it easier to view/sort the results.
