   That didn't work but it did lead down the right path.  When CiderXPress and   
   ShrinkItX were moved out of Applications, It turns out that Virtual II had not   
   only hi-jacked the disk image icons, but they also made it so that any file   
   associated to it could    
   not be opened by other, or even the original, Applications.  Dirty !!!   
      
   The solution was to drag Virtual II to the trash, empty the trash and restart.
