Trying to use "Open With - Notepad" on .SCT file doesn't work

I was using search to find some FoxPro files that I
wanted to review. I right-clicked on one of the .sct
files in the search results window and selected "open
with - Notepad". MS AntiSpyware then pops up with an
Alert about a script being run. I select the "Allow"
button and then my .sct file opens with FoxPro! The next
time I try to open the same file with NotePad it does
open with NotePad. How can I get MS AntiSpyware to honor
my "Open With" selection?

You have it better than me. I have VBS scripts that we
use, and I ran into the same problem. Difference is
instead of opening with my script editor, it actually ran
the scripts.

I added to another post with the same Context Menu Open With issue in the
AppCompat forum. I found that Taskmanager Processes was the best place to
kill (as the popup does not). I also found that if I tried it again
immediately, it would work as designed.
