    I have a Visual Studio Setup and Deployment project that associates a file type with my app. I have setup the file type in my Setup and Deployment project and ran the installer, however in windows explorer when you right click a file of that particular type and select "open with" it will show just the app's icon but no text is displayed next to the icon (usually the name of the application is shown here). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Note: if you double click the file it will successfuly launch the app correclty. It's just the application name in the windows explorer "open with" menu that doesn't show. thanks

      Did you set the application title and description in the Assembly Properties of the VS project? AFAIK, Windows Explorer pulls the display name of the application from that information.
