VS2008 has Killed my UltraEdit32 .vs File Association   

I have been running Visual Studio 2005 alongside UltraEdit for a couple of 
years. I was always able to set my file association to VBScript files w/ the 
extension .vs to UltraEdit32 without a problem.

I installed VS2008 yesterday, and now I can't force the .vs file association 
to UltraEdit. In fact, UltraEdit is no longer displayed in the list of 
programs available for association. I have to browse for the executable. And 
when I attempt to make the association, Windows returns a different program.

When I attempt the association in UE32's Configuration, I will type .vs in 
the text box, and when I hit "Add", the extension is changed to .vspscc.

Has anyone encountered this? Anyone solved it. This is quite a nuisance.

The problem is solved. If I use Windows' Folder Options File Types ADVANCED 
button on the .vs extension, and fill in the path, navigate to UltraEdit for 
the icon and fill in UltraEdit in the Application text box, the change 
sticks. It just won't work if I use the "Edit" button alone and browse to 
UltraEdit.
