File association trouble

When I manually change the program to open a particular filetype
(association) - tools/folder options/File types - the Advance button changes
to 'Restore' to allow the old association to be restored.

This blocks me from adding new options that the Advanced button provides, is
there any way I can disable this or return the 'Restore' button to 'Advanced'

Thanks,
Paul
 
Make your changes then change the program. Open With supercedes file associations for the Open verb only.

So Restore - Advanced - Change.
 
Thanks, that sorts it nicely.
