Just built up a new W7 PC. I've noticed some strange issues with launching default applications.

I've got Visual Studio & SQL Server Management Studio set run as administrator when launched.

If i double click a .sql file SSMS opens ok but the file itself does not get loaded.

If I do the same with a .sln then I get nothing at all from Visual Studio.

For the latter I presume the UAC prompt is hidden somewhere waiting for me to say it's ok to launch the app but i've no idea what's happening with SSMS.

Is this a W7 bug or are there some settings somewhere that I can tweak to improve this behaviour?
