I recently reinstalled XP pro on one of my machines. When I double click on a non-associated extension (such as ASP or PHP) it asks (as expected) what i want to associated it with.
I select WordPad for example and check the box "Always use selected program to open..." The file opens. However the next time I try I am asked to associate it again.
In the top of this window I notice it lists the file name. It lists it in 8.3 format with a extra quote mark after the filename.
e.g. hgygtr~1.php" or thisfile.php"
In my file association list it lists one for PHP and another for PHP"
any clues?
