Question about 'Edit File Types in Windows Vista'

I have a question about Edit File Types in Windows Vista:

I tried to change a file that shows on my computer as license.lic.ELF9 to license.lic but was unable to determine how this could be done with this program.

I've had an ongoing issue with associating .wav files (Vista Business 32 bit)

Nomatter how many of these methods I try (including two third-party utilities) I CANNOT change the association of .wav files to  Cool Edit Pro 2 - despite it appearing in the list of possible programs I can assign it to - nor via the browsing directly to the executable AND ticking the "always use this program".

It ALWAYS opens Windows Media Player nomatter what I do.

One facility (Default Programs Editor)  did allow me to put a new right-click command in to  open CEPro, but I don't know what syntax to use to get it to open the right-clicked item, so it opens, but then you have to manually navigate all the way to the file anyway, losing most of the point of being able to double-click.
