Re: Can't change file association in XP
This did not work either; the same thing happened after I selected Notepad++
as the program to open, it still did not appear in the list so I could not
select it to change the file association to it.
Is this abnormal behavior for XP? I have had no trouble in the past changing
other file associations.
