Receive error: sqldeveloper64W.exe has stopped working when attempting to open .sql files
Problem Description
---------------------------------------------------
Within SQL Developer 4.0, I've gone into Preferences > File Types, found the .sql extension and checked the box that says Open with SQL Developer. I've gone to the Set Associations control panel in Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and confirmed that the Current Default is set to sqldeveloper64W. I've used the CMD function to access regedit, deleted the file associations for .sql and set all preferences again. If SQL developer is not already open on my machine and I attempt to open a .sql file, the application launches fine. If I try to open additional files from windows explorer or windows search, I get an APPCRASH indicating that sqldeveloper64W.exe has stopped working. I click close the program and sql developer remains open, but my file has not opened.
