Well, on my computer at least, I had to associate .rc and .cui and .ics myself.
Those I associated with Notepad.

Files like .log and .pgn and .epd, all of those I associated with a free
download programmer's editor called PFE.  Because if I paste something into CCC
that I had opened in Notepad, there will be these irritating "end of line"
characters that show up, but PFE somehow fixes that problem for me (besides,
it's my favorite editor).
