What on earth happened here...
Using Windows XP, I am trying to get Programmers Notepad 2 to become my primary editor for PHP files. This shouldn't be hard.
So, if I get to the "Open With" screen, either by right clicking on a file and hitting "open with->choose program" or going through folder options - file types. Then I choose browse to locate the Programmers Notepad executable, which works. Now, no matter what I do, Windows will not actually add the program to its list of options to open the file with!

What am I doing wrong here? Is there a better way to do this through the control panel?
