Windows file associations are being retarded

Sorry for such a weird thread, but I've been searching the internet for so long without any answer that I'm starting to give up hope.
Problem in a nutshell: If I assign a program to a file type, I can no longer move the program to a different location OR choose another instance of that program. Trying to do that just brings back the file association window without the newly chosen program present- only the old one remains. If the old location/copy has been removed, I can't choose this program at all.
This has been going on since WinXP at least and is still happening in Win7.
Has anybody got experience with this?
