    However, my Open with includes only

    So I perform New>String value on OpenWithList and now my right panel is

    Thanks jona9 for your detailed answer.

    As it turns out, I wasn't able to add any program (32 or 64 bit) to the list because the list was full. It seems like the maximum number of programs in the list is 6, and some programs were stuck in there despite removing them from the registry key. The unremovable programs were iTunes, WMP and irfanview.

    After removing all the other programs from the list (audacity, VLC) except winamp and Tagscanner, I was able to add a 64 bit program (gimp) to the list. However, as in jona9's case, I am still unable to add 32 bit programs...

    I'll keep looking for an answer, and I'll post a solution if I find one.
