Why does double-clicking a .linq file open a different .exe from the one on my taskbar?

Hello,

When I installed LinqPad, I pinned it to the taskbar, so I can press Win-6 to open it quickly. This opens C:\Program Files (x86)\LINQPad5\LINQPad.exe

However, if I double-click a .linq file, it opens C:\ProgramData\LINQPad\Updates50\526\LINQPad.exe

Both are version 5.31.00. Why do I have two different .exe files? More to the point, can I make it so that I will always get the same .exe, irrespective of how I open it. That way my keyboard shortcut will always work.

Thanks

You might need to reset the file association in Windows. You can do this either via Windows Explorer, or by re-installing LINQPad and checking the option to associate .linq files with LINQPad.

Great, that did the trick.
