The Export range should be Selected branch HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0CD7A5C0-9F37-11CE-AE65-08002B2E1262} and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{E88DCCE0-B7B3-11d1-A9F0-00AA0060FA31}. Re-enable by double-clicking the keys, and Yes to import. Log off and on again, and it works as before.

No restart required. There is a simple and more brutal way, that even works on Windows 7 x64:
