So, Vegas110.exe is a 64 bit program? If it was 32 bit, you would be looking in Program Files (x86).
Yes, it and the prior version were 64-bit.
If you right click and do not have a prior association, it appears you will not be offered an Open with option. Thus, I asked what happens if you just open a .veg file. So what does happen if you open or double click the .veg file - nothing until you associated it with something else?
This all started, come to think of it, when I upgraded from Version 10 to Version 11 of Vegas. I would double-click on a .veg file it would go to Version 10 - the old version. I uninstalled Version 10 and the O/S then responded to a double-click on a .veg file that there was no file association. No problem, I thought, just right-click and do an open with. So, that's where we are.
Also, I wanted to know if another extension did work with Vegas so we could check it to see how it was setup. So, do any other extensions work with Vegas and how are they shown in the file association dialog window or what do they show as open with?
No, the .veg file is the only filetype that normally works with Vegas. (I do have Version 11 installed on another computer, also running Win7, and the associations work just fine there.
I really do not understand why you can not associate it correctly, unless something is blocking the association or overriding it. Do you have any other software that is related to video editing?
Nope - Vegas is the only video editor I use.
Just for fun, if you open the registry editor and search for .veg, do you find anything listed? There may be around 5 separate entries if it shows at all.
Here's what I found:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.veg, the default is "vegas110"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Classes\.veg, the default is "vegas110"
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.veg, the default is (value not set)

I do see something odd. I uninstalled Version 10 when I installed Version 11, but there are still two registry entries from that version. I wonder??
