Open application when file double clicked

[Richard Gaskin]

The only code is what I'd posted in the message you replied to.

The only change was setting a custom file type ("xXx") where I had 
previously used "txt" in the Standalone Builder.

Since then it seem Peter's found the original cause of the issue, so at 
this time it seems everything's working as expected.
