I searched through the registry for "x2scrap.Document". I only got the following result:
"HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-4213287350-1166707532-2458168612-500\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts" > "x2scrap.Document_.cida" > value 0 (see screen capture).

I found nothing under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\x2scrap.Document\”.
But I found 6 weird Asian (?) entries associated with the .cida extension (see screen capture):
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\�ũ"
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\됀嶪耀folder"
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\된嶮관耀吟䠥̞箔䷃ㆱ䛩䲴햍"
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\베�ũ"
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\翾"
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\䫘濘翾"

As I understand things, the .cida file extension is exclusively associated with xplorer². I don't use any Asian language on my PC, even though I once installed support for Asian languages (or so I believe).
These entries appear to be in Japanese. Here are the Google translations for them (see screen capture).

I don't know any Ningxuan Yu, and cannot imagine how he got into my registry associated with .cida files!
I also searched for ".cida" through the registry. I found the following:
"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cida" > value "cida_auto_file"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\.cida" > value "cida_auto_file"
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts" > DWORD 32 bits "Applications\xplorer2_64.exe_.cida" > value 0.

Nikos, what can I do?
Note that I launch xplorer² through the following command-line (taskbar shortcut):
"C:\Program Files\xplorer2_ult\xplorer2_64.exe"
