Although I am able to go through the "regular" process to associate a program with an extension it doesn't work. After going through the browse process and selecting the program it brings me back to the "open with" window. The program I've selected does not appear in the "open with" window and it appears that it is simply ignoring me.
I've also tried the "Default Programs" route but wind up at the same "open with" window that still ignores me.
Suggestions?

After playing around a lil I think I've figured it out.. [for me at least..]
The program that you're pointing to isn't registered correctly.
In regedit: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applicationsand find your .exe name.
Navigate under its name to shell>open>command. In the Default change its location to the actual location of the executable, hit okay and then try and reassociate the file type as you normally would.
Let me know if that doesn't seem to work.
I am trying to associate jpeg files with Photoshop CC 2017 but it doesn't appear on the list. It is there for jpg files, however. There is no @other Program' option and no 'Browse' facility. I am using (or attempting to use!) Windows 10.
[I just submitted this but the page froze before I could check the 'Notify me' option!]

It helped me, becauseI installed x64 version of notepad++ in Program Files folder, thenI uninstalled it, andinstalled x86 version in Program Files (x86) but in regedit key Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications... -> notepad++ -> open -> command it was still old entry without (x86) on path. When I correct path to Program Files (x86), it helped.
