Association Issues

I have files with the extension "rid" that I want associated with Textpad.
I have tried entering the extension into the "Associations" screen, and it seems to take, but is gone when I exit and come back in.
If I double-click one of the files, it is opened with the old association, WordPad.
How do I fix this?
Regards,
Chuck Billow

I have posted this a number of times .... it may apply here.
When making configuration changes I find it best to follow these steps, especially for any changes in Classes:
1. Close all other copies of TextPad.
2. Close all open documents, INCLUDING THE DEFAULT NEW BLANK DOCUMENT.
3. Make the changes you want: Configure/Preferences/......
4. Apply and OK your way out the configurations.
5. Close TextPad.
6. Open TextPad again, and your changes should be good.

Bob:
If I go in, close all documents, make changes, and exit the menus, and then go back in, the changes are gone.

Bob:
I found it. I had another utility that had placed a lock on the file type.
Sorry,

Well done. Thanks for the feedback.
What was the utility that was locking this?
