Cannot Set Default Application for .FLA file. I have Adobe Flash C

For some reason, I try to set the default app to be Flash CS3. I browse for
the app, select it and it still does not show up in the list of default
programs. Is it a glitch? It tries to use Flash Player as the default
program. I have been playing with it for weeks, thinking it will work soon,
but.....

Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you, It worked like a charm! I am new to Windows (from Mac) and this
