So, say I have a file type that isn't assigned to anything (or even if it is and I choose "open with") for this story we will use ".XYZ" which may or may not be a real extension.
I double click this file, as expected the "Open with..." dialog box comes up. I can choose any program in the list and it will open with that program. I can even choose to always open files of that type with that program with the checkbox. However, I cannot add a program to my list! I click "Browse", find my EXE file, hit ok, and it does not get added to the list.
I have also tried adding programs via the "File Types" tab in the view options, but it uses the same dialog box, and thus it still doesn't work.I have no clue what caused this, but I know it has been this way for a long, long time. I just have never been annoyed enough to find an answer.
Now I recently updated Flash to Flash CS4, and I cannot tell .fla files to open with flash. I know I could manually add it in the registry to that extension, but I need to know why I can't through "Open with...".
Thank you for any help you can give me!

P.S. I can't wait for windows 7, the beta version got me very excited for it!
