Open With.. functionality doesn't fully work <XPSP1>

I'm in a domain environment. I have two machines that both have the
same GPOs applying against them, so it appears this isn't a GPO issue.
The machines are XP SP1. I'm logged in as the same user on both
machines.
Doing a GPRESULT /Z on both machines and comparing the results doesn't
show major differences.
On one machine, Open With functionality works normally - if I have a
..TXT file and choose to associate it with 555.exe via Open With /
Choose / Browse / and picking 555.exe, 555.exe will appear on the full
Open With menu (detailing Recommended programs and Other programs). I
can then successfully use 555.exe to open the textfile, I can click on
"Always use..." and all is well.
On another, Open With functionality does not work correctly - if I have
a .TXT file and click Open With, Choose Program..., Browse, select
555.exe, and then I go back to the "Open With" GUI menu, I see a list
of programs that does not include 555.exe. That's the problem - it
should add 555.exe to that list!
Any ideas? Does anyone have any guesses for what would cause this? Is
there a policy to lock down open-with functionality and or the full
file associations tab in XP?
Help! :)
