SP-2, fully updated and patched --
For some reason, the Open With -> Choose Program... right-click command is no
longer configured correctly. On choosing Open With, some installed program
options are offered, as intended, but if none of them are what I want to use, I
then select 'Choose Program...'. This used to fire the file association dialog
window that we've all seen, showing all installed programs and asking via a
checkbox whether to always use the selected program or not to open that file
type.
I no longer get that dialog window. Instead, choosing 'Choose Program...'
simply causes Notepad to try and open the file type, seemingly no matter what
type of file it is, or how absurd it might be to have Notepad try and handle
it.
Does anyone know how I can get this behavior back to where it once was? I know
how to set file extensions. I'd just like to get this right-click behavior
back to normal.
