as in, it does not add itself to the open list?

if that is the case, you can try checking the box: always use this program to open files of this type' in the 'choose program...' menu.

true it doesn't add itself to the list, and i did try checking the box first and it still won't add the program to the open list.

Problem solved:
I uninstalled the specific program and re-installed it, and bingo the program was in my open with list.
