So I use Adobe Fireworks heavily for all my graphical needs. This past weekend I inherited Adobe Creative Suite 4 (I used to have CS3) from a friend. After installing CS4 I uninstalled CS3. From that point on I was unable to have *.PNG files automatically open in Fireworks CS4. Heck, I couldn't even Open As... and have them open in CS4. Finally I found the problem in the Windows registry.
In order to fix this:
- Run regedit.exe.
- Drill down to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\Fireworks.exe\shell\o pen\command.
- Update the REG_SZ data to point to the proper path on your machine (i.e. I set mine to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS4\Fireworks.exe" "%1").
- Close regedit.
- Try associating the file again.
- Success.

OMG! U R My Hero! I was trying to solve the same problem for Xilinx ISE (I couldnt set the default program to ise.exe) and googling things associated with Xilinx was to no avail. Cheers mate
