1. On Vista comp: how to associate .prj with IDE ?

I was just trying to associate a .prj file with the IDE, so I could run a project by clicking on a project file, and after associating .prj to IDE, clicking on a .prj file yields an error message, "[filename].prj is not a valid Win32 application". I've *finally* realized that I have to make it first execute the Euphoria interpreter to run the IDE, and then have the IDE load the project, but I can't figure out how to do that.
And I have a secondary problem: when selecting IDE.exw to be the program to open the project file, I "labeled" the extent .prj to be "IDE", rather than maybe, "IDE Project File", when I first associated "ide.exw" with ".prj", and have tried to edit that choice, but I can never get the option to LABEL the file type to come up again. And then I tried to "delete" the association, by selecting wordpad.exe to open .prj files, hoping I'd be able to then re-associate with IDE.exw with at least the better label, and all I succeeded in doing was to allow TWO ways to open .prj.
So, is there some way to get IDE to be correctly associated with file type .prj, so an IDE project will be "loaded" into the IDE by clicking on an IDE project file, and is there some way to change the "name" for the .prj file type I had previously selected, so it would read "IDE Project File" instead of just "IDE"?

This functionality has been removed since Vista- the built-in file association editor is a dumbed down crippleware version of the one in XP.
To edit advanced options, you now need a 3rd-party tool. Types is open-source, and replicates most of the functionality that was previously present in XP, such as the ability to pass command-line arguments to an EXE, which you need to run an interpreted program.

Aha! Thanks a lot CoJaBo! I'm glad that I wasn't missing something obvious, like the difference between an integer and a digit!
