Code blocks .cbp file will not associate with code blocks

(1/5) > >>

Chay Hawk:
Ok so I have code blocks installed and when I open the project folder on my desktop all the files are white, and when I click the .cbp file windows just says how do you want to open this file?, I find the code blocks .exe and it will not associate with it. I can open code blocks and drag the .cbp file in it though and that works, but I want to be able to just click on the project file. This has never done this before and I have no idea whats going on. I don't want to uninstall code blocks because I have libraries installed and linked and it would be a major pain to re do them again, so what do I do? I attached a screenshot.

What operating system?

If on windows, Did you try
Settings -> Environment...
General Settings
Check and Set File Associations
Post Edit 1: Button: "Manage"
Button: "Set Now"

Note: I have never done the above; but, it looks like the correct thing to do.

You might try it once more running Code::Blocks as Administrator in case it failed because of a permission issue.

If it fails after that, I suggest restarting the computer in case a restart of Windows Explorer is needed.

I just tries both of those and nothing worked :( what else can i do? If i re install code blocks on top of this one, will it delete my external library link settings?
