I've tried the above suggestions, but I get an error message in the yellow popup window saying that the registry cannot be written to because of the user account control being set to true. I must be missing something in the uac because I don't see/find a setting like that.

I am able to open a BIAB song file by right clicking on it and then clicking open with no problem so I do have the feature of opening a file without first opening the biab pgm file. I'm not sure why one works and the other doesn't. I'm using window 7 home premium and BIAB 2012 everything pack.

"UAC being set to true" simply means that your User Account Control is active, and is preventing Band in a Box from making this registry change.

You will likely need elevated privileges to make this change while you have UAC on. I have gotten this to work in the past by having the user simply opening Band in a Box with elevated privileges by right clicking your Band in a Box shortcut > "Run As Administrator", then try the [ File Utilities > Associate File Types ... ]

If double clicking songs from explorer is still not opening in BB at this point (quite rare in my experience), it may be necessary to try disabling User Account Control altogether to make the change stick.
