Let Windows 'Know' about a program

I have Windows 7 Home Premium.

I have a little. Files of the PTB and the program to open and edit them (Powertab).  I can open the program and then open the file, but I am unable to click on the file and open the program.  If I try, I get a message saying that Windows needs to know what program should be used to open it.  How can I 'say' Windows on this program?

When you double-click the file, you should get a dialog with 2 options, the default is to search the web.

The second option is to select from a list, click on it then OK

The next dialog will show common programs on the computer. PowerTab is not listed, click Browse. Keep this open dialogue but open the start menu and right-click on the PowerTab link and select Properties. The 'target' box should be highlighted in blue, right click on that and select copy, return to the box browse previously open and paste it into the file name box, click Open

Enter a Description, then click OK. This should then set the PowerTab it by default the program. PTB files
