Windows File Associations -- 2023 Releases

Sigh. Every single annual big update to the Creative Cloud apps brings an annoying problem. This time it's "failure to migrate file associations under Windows 11".

When I try to open an HEIC file, or a JPG file, or a PNG file -- which I was able to do pretty much since I first installed Photoshop on my system years ago -- I now get asked "What program do you want to use to open it?"

And, of course, the latest version of Photoshop (2023) does not show up on the list. Only the 2022 version does...sort of, since I cunningly uninstalled it after first launching the 2023 version, assuming that even Adobe's UI engineers would know of the need to migrate settings.

To make matters even worse, if I select the 2023 version manually -- by using "choose an app on your computer" and navigating to Photoshop.exe in the 2023 folder -- it does not "take". Instead, I am left at the "choose the app" dialog once again.

This is one of those times I think Adobe management ought to fire every single executive in charge of the platform-specific UI development and replace them with, oh, first year computer science students. Who would almost certainly do a better job.

In any event, how do I fix this?
