Default file association not working with some extensions

1. When I click on either of those files, it gives me a prompt to choose a file association. Since the correct program isn't listed, I go and click on the option to find the program manually. However after I select the correct program for each of the above files listed, nothing happens. Nothing opens, nothing changes, nada happens.
2. I have also tried right clicking on each of the files above mentioned, going to properties, under the general tab I click change next to the part where it says "Opens with:". Same thing as in part #1. Nothing happens, nothing changes. It says in that slot "Pick an app" and says the same thing after I pick an app.
3. Then I went to Control panel, Default Programs, Associate a file type or protocol with a program. The interesting part here is that I cannot find among the huge file extension list the above referenced file extensions (.gdocs, etc). It's like they are not baked into the system. However, when I go to regedit (registry editor) and look at this key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts" I can find all the file extensions listed above. I even deleted the .gdocs one to see what would happen (deleting the whole extension file in the reg editor under the above reg edit address) and nothing happened. I still cannot associate anything with a .gdoc file.
4. Other common file extensions such as .pdf work great. I can change between the default program without an issue. If I change a default program for a .pdf file, it sticks and does not give me headaches as the above file extensions.

Displays or modifies file types used in file extension associations

FTYPE [fileType[=[openCommandString]]]

fileType Specifies the file type to examine or change
openCommandString Specifies the open command to use when launching files
of this type.

Type FTYPE without parameters to display the current file types that
have open command strings defined. FTYPE is invoked with just a file
type, it displays the current open command string for that file type.
Specify nothing for the open command string and the FTYPE command will
delete the open command string for the file type. Within an open
command string %0 or %1 are substituted with the file name being
launched through the assocation. %* gets all the parameters and %2
gets the 1st parameter, %3 the second, etc. %~n gets all the remaining
parameters starting with the nth parameter, where n may be between 2 and 9,
inclusive. For example:

ASSOC .pl=PerlScript
FTYPE PerlScript=perl.exe %1 %*

would allow you to invoke a Perl script as follows:

script.pl 1 2 3

If you want to eliminate the need to type the extensions, then do the
following:

set PATHEXT=.pl;%PATHEXT%

and the script could be invoked as follows:

script 1 2 3
