Formerly I had POV 3.62 and 3.7 both installed on the same machine. I switched
over to 3.7 exclusively.
However, now I cannot associate INC files with POV-Ray on Windows 7 x64. I can
navigate to the program through the "Open File" dialog, but the association does
not "stick". I.e. it is simply ignored/reset back to the earlier program, in my
case Notepad.
Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this?

Have you tried, select the *.pov file, right click, open with, "choose
default program"?

Yes, the POV files are properly associated with POV 3.7. It is the INC files
that are not working.

It would be the same procedure with *.inc files. Remember to tick the
box that says. "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."
Or you could hack the registry.

Yes, I did this. I am able to set the file association for other programs, like
Notepad++. But it fails to "stick" when trying to do the same for any of
POV-Ray's executables.

I would like to confirm whether this is a bug or not before seeking alternative
solutions.

Update: I was able to set the association with the SSE2 Win32 version, but not
pvengine64.exe or pvengine.exe.
I'm going to keep searching for a solution involving editing the registry.

I found the issue and the solution to the issue here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/problems-with-file-association-in-windows-7-64-bit/8a8
4fcec-22df-4942-8e35-d98dbe96e327
POV-Ray 3.7 wasn't registered correctly. The registry key discussed in the
article was associated with POV 3.62 instead of 3.7.
