On my first install of Sabnzbd+ I downloaded the zip archive. I set it up that when I double clicked on an nzb it would open SABnzbd+ automatically and all was rosy. The problems arose when I was prompted to update. Whatever happened while upgrading I now cannot use the "open with" option on W7's context menu with nzb files. If I double click on one it just opens in notepad. I've tried the "choose default program" option and I navigate to the SABnzbd executable successfully. However nothing happens and the SABnzbd icon doesn't appear to allow me to select it as the default program.
Can't figure it out. I regret using the zip archive initially. I would probably be alright if I had used the installer version to be honest. I think it was all the messing around with the archive that has confused Windows.
"Open With" won't work.

Re: "Open With" won't work.
The SABnzbd installer can only add the association with NZB, not with ZIP.
Check these settings in a command prompt:
assoc .nzb
It should show something like
.nzb=NZBFile
Then type
ftype NZBFile
It should show the command associated with NZB files.

Re: "Open With" won't work.
Run the SABnzbd installer again and make sure you tick the NZB association box.
