Stormplayer steals default associations

I have VLC 1.1.11 and Storm Player from China on my computer. Storm Player allows me to watch TV shows and movies and I don't want to get rid of it. The problem is that when I finish watching video on Storm Player it steals ALL the default file associations and I have to change them all back to VLC every time. I've tried locking the registry keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi .mp3 .mp3 etc. but that didn't help. I don't think upgrading to VLC 2.0.1 will help either. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know where I can download or copy a registry.reg file that would make it easy to re-establish VLC Player as the default music and video player?
