I have found it impossible to change the file association in Windows 10.
I did a registry search and found this key:
Code: Select all
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ApplicationAssociationToasts
Apllications\WinFBE32.exe with various extensions.
Which WinFBE32 Microsoft?
I also found
Applications\WinFBE32105.exe with various extensions.
I created WinFBE32105.exe and WinFBE32106.exe but neither exist any more.
So, I deleted all references to WinFBE* and did a system restart.
Bas files are still associated with WinFBE V1.6.2 and my WinFBE32 on my Startup menu still points to WinFBE V1.6.3.
At the bottom of the Settings>Apps>Default apps page is 'Set defaults by app'. Clicking on that sees Windows having a think and then closes Settings.
At the bottom of the page is 'Choose defalt apps by file type'. There we have a .bas entry with WinFBE32.
Which WinFBE32 Microsoft? I cannot get that to point to WinFBE V1.6.3.
If I right click on a bas file and hover over 'Open with' I get 'JK-IDE' and 'TextPad'; no mention of WinFBE32. Selecting 'Choose another app' will not let me remove WinFBE32 - yes it is there. Going with 'More apps' ignores my attempt to get WinFBE32 to point to WinFBE32 V1.6.3.
Bit of a mess, Microsoft. Nothing new there then.
