  But your friend has XP, right? I'm taking my readings
from XP. You don't want to give him Win10 settings.
(I'm not familiar with that use of CLSIDs in the command
line, but I can tell you that particular CLSID is not listed
under my HKCR\CLSID\ key. There's a good chance that
it's Win10-specific.)

   In case it's useful, below is the content of 2 .reg
files for my .hta and htafile keys. I don't see anything
critical except the .hta values and the command key
default value.
   If that's not a problem I'd look at AV interference or
file corruption. (The HTA may be saved in unicode, for
instance, or some other issue that may conflict going
from 64 to 32.)
