Okay - I've found out how to get it to open with the right program (see later for 
how-to), but it now presents me with another problem:

When I open the file, which is in My Documents, I get the following Error:

C:\Documents does not exist.

When I open the file using the program (by doing file -> open) it works fine - it 
also works fine when the file path for the LUP file has no spaces in.

But it seems to fail when there is a space in the file path - any ideas?



How-to:

Go to the folder were the file is located. Then choose Tools -> Folder Options -> 
File Types. 

Now look for the file-extension in the Registered File Types-list. If it's there, 
click Advanced (if not, just create it with "New"). An Edit File Type-dialog should 
appear.

If the "open"-option is already on the list, click "Edit", if not, create it by clicking 
"New". Now click Browse and search for the program you wish to open the file with. 

Just click Ok, and you're done. You can also set an icon for the file by clicking 
"Change Icon" if you wish.
