Unregistered app file association problem.

Post by InTheMood »

I am using Windows 10 and XYPlorer 16.00.
When trying to associate a file extension with an unregistered program I proceed as follows:
Right click on the file to be opened --> open with --> Choose another App --> More apps --> look for another app on your pc
At this point a file explorer window is supposed to open. It does not.

When I do the same thing using Windows 10's File Explorer, it works just fine.

this is a bug with contextmenu64.exe.
Don knows better. Meanwhile, disable the direct 64-bit ctx menu (Tools > Configuration > Shell Integration > 64-bit Windows > Show the 64-bit context menu).
