Re: Can't change file association in XP

Close all IE windows. Then go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\.htm\openwithlist\

Right click on the Openwithlist folder and select new->Key menu. Create another folder named Dreamweaver. Right click on Dreamweaver and select new->Key menu to create a folder named shell.

Right click on the shell folder and select new->key menu to create a new folder named command.

Double click on the default item in the command folder, input the
Dreamweaver file full path and %1.

For example if the Dreamweaver EXE file path is C:\ Dreamweaver.exe,
input this: C:\ Dreamweaver %1

I'm using XP SP3 and I tried to change the file association for some .php
files. Currently, these files are associated with Dreamweaver because I
installed a trial of DW. I have decided not to buy DW, and the trial has
expired so now I need to change the file associations for .php files to my
current HTML editor, which is notepad++.

In explorer, I right-clicked on one of the .php files and selected Open
With>Choose Program...>Browse>Program Files>Notepad++>ansi>notepad++.exe.
However, when I clicked OK, then on the Open With dialog screen, Notepad++ is
still not an option. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

Thanks,
Cyndi
