I am trying to associate file type ".crw" with the application Phase One Capture One. I right-click on a crw file and select Open With. The Capture One application is not listed, so I select "Choose Program." The application is not listed under either "Recommended Programs" or "Other Programs", so I click the Browse button, and browse to the location of the application. I select the application, "captureone.exe", and push the Open button. Now the strange and mysterious part: after this, the application still does not appear listed under "Recommended Programs" or "Other Programs" in the Open With box! No matter what I try, I have been unable to make the association.

I have even reinstalled the Capture One application, which made no difference.

Can anyone help?

Have you also checked the ALWAYS USE THE SELECTED PROGRAM TO OPEN THIS KIND OF FILE?

Yes. To make sure, I just repeated the procedure, with and without the "Alway Use ..." box checked, and either way, the executable that I select does not show up in the list of available applications.
