Do you have the file associations defined within FlashFXP or are you relying on the Windows 10 file associations?

If you have them defined within FlashFXP they are guaranteed to work, but sometimes relying on Windows can be hit or miss.

But if you do have them defined within FlashFXP and they still don't work. I would recommend verifying the file masks and make sure there are no extra spaces (we now trim spaces but this wasn't always the case)

I am also assuming that you're using the latest version of FlashFXP, if not, then please upgrade. There was an issue we fixed a few months back where if you edited a file with for example notepad then that specific file would always open with notepad even if you changed the file associations.
