If I want to open a file with something different I generally right click the file and select Open With... and then click on the alternative application. However, recently I have not been able to use the "Browse" button on "Open With..." to select a file not listed in the default.
Example: I have a .sql file that is defaulted to open in a text editor. But when I want it to open in something like SQL Server Studio or a MySQL GUI I would right click and choose that. It works fine for SQL Server Studio because that is listed in the "Recommended Programs" list. But my MySQL GUI (SQLyog) is not listed so I click "Browse" and select the EXE file but it is NOT added to the list of "Other Programs" so I cannot select it.
If I Start, Run "C:\Program Files (x86)\SQLyog Enterprise\SQLyogEnt.exe" C:\dump.sql it loads dump.sql into the SQLyog window just fine so I know the program works fine.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening now?
Thanks,
Andrew
