Vice64 loses file associations for D64, prg etc

Hi,
I've moved the location of where my Vice64 files (x64.exe etc) are, and after that I cannot get the file association of double-clicking d64/prg files to work with x64.exe

When I click on a d64/prg file, it simply opens the browser to which program I want to associate it with. When I then look in the list of programs, the Vice64 icon is gone. Therefore, I click on browse, finds the new location of x64.exe and selects it by "open".

When I do this, I am returned to the icon list of different suggestion of programs to open the d64/prg, but the Vice64 is still not present.

I know I've had this issue in the past on a different computer, and I gave up then. I made a "Send To" link to x64.exe instead, and had to "send to" that program. Which worked, but those not work if I want to have d64/prg associations with Visual Basic and KickAssembler editoring.

Therefore, does anyone know the correct Registry entry to edit or any real workaround in order to fix the issue with the broken file association to Vice64?

I'm using Vice64 2.3 with Windows 7 64-bit.

Cheers Magnar
