Question : Vista - "Open With" Not Allowing An Associated Program To Be Selected By Browsing

In Vista, while trying to associate a program with a file type using "Open With" then Browse., the program I choose is not being remembered and displayed in the dialog box for associating.

I right click on the file and choose Open With, Choose Default Program

Open-With.jpg (32 KB) (File Type Details)

Next I click on the Browse button

Open-With-2.jpg (37 KB) (File Type Details)

Then select the program

Open-With-3.jpg (37 KB) (File Type Details)

But unfortunately the selected program does not appear in the dialog box.

Open-With-4.jpg (37 KB) (File Type Details)

The procedure is correct but something else must be going on with Vista. If you know what is going wrong or would like further information please let me know.

Thanks.
