Hey all,
I'm having an issue with selecting a default program to run a certain file. I installed 7zip, and associated all relevant file types to it in 7zip settings. However it still isn't being associated in Windows (when I click on it it asks me to select a program to open it). However when click More Options, then Look for another app on this PC, nothing happens. Well, something does. No file explorer window comes up like it should (to let me select the program) and the current window where I double clicked the file gets stuck. I can't move the window, and when I click on it Windows plays the "ding" (warning?) sound.
I tried to change the file association in the control panel, but I didn't see .zip or .7z anywhere. Just to test though, I clicked on a random file type, then more options, then Look for another app on this PC, and again nothing happens and the Control Panel window gets frozen.
7zip works, I'm able to right click the file and the 7zip context menu entries are there, but the inner perfectionist in me will not let this go, and I'd like to be able to double click any zip files like I always have.
Any help? Thanks!
