You can always associate files with programs the other Windows way: using Windows registry! That's the only method I ever use.

Here is an example of associating *.vob extension to be opened with either BSPlayer, VideoLAN or Windows Media, and displaying a custom icon "video_mg.ico". The paths will be different on your system, of course.

REGEDIT4

;; the extension to associate
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vob]
;; file type, shortly describing the contents
@="ZZ_mpeg_video"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video]
;; custom type string, not mandatory
@="Motion Pictures Experts Group video"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\DefaultIcon]
;; icon to use
@="c:\\icons\\video_mg.ico,0"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell]
;; default application
@="mplayer2"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell\bsplayer]
;; name which will appear when right clicking on VOBs
@="• BSPlayer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell\bsplayer\command]
;; the path to bsplayer executable
@="d:\\apps\\bsplayer\\bsplayer.exe \"%L\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell\mplayer2]
@="• Windows Media"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell\mplayer2\command]
@="mplayer2.exe \"%L\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell\vlc]
@="• VideoLAN Client"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZZ_mpeg_video\shell\vlc\command]
@="d:\\apps\\vlc\\vlc.exe \"%L\""
