Thought I would add this though I believe it to be a Windows7 problem and not a Coffee Cup software problem - but it is a glitch none the less. Perhaps others have experienced this or have found a fix.

I sometimes open files directly from my folders which requires file associations to be set that allows you to click on a file and have it open with the proper program. Since I started using Windows7 I cannot associate PHP files with Coffee Cup HTML editor. In windows the program does not show up on the "recommended programs" or "other programs" lists. If I browse for a program I can find coffee Coffee.exe but Windows7 simply wont pull the program to the lists or associate it with PHP files. My CC HTML Editor is currently at Build 305.

Perhaps this has something to do with the programs being in the "Program Files (X86)" folder? Other than this the HTML Editor woks properly for me in Windows7 64 bit.

On edit, I tried associating PHP files with other Coffee Cup programs from my Coffee Cup Software folder where all of my CC programs are and I CAN pull the programs onto the program lists and I CAN associate them with PHP files... so now I question that this may actually be a Coffee Cup problem.
I am using HTML Editor, LockBox, Photo Gallery, Visual Site Designer (for the kids), Web Form Builder, Web Video Player, Shopping Cart Creator, Shopping Cart Designer and Flash Website Search. My works in perpetual progress:

I am on Win 7 64 Bit and have associated php files with CC HTML Editor without any trouble.
CoffeeCup... Yeah, they are the best!
