If you use a program like pockettweak or even Resco file explorer then 
setting file associations is very easy.

Sounds like your file association isn't working (the arguments being 
passed to pcceshell are incorrect - that argument would normally be the 
filename you are trying to run).
The standard distribution worked fine for me *without* file associations 
set *and* with file associations set.

You ought to just delete and replace the original.

Sorry if these questions had already been answered - but I couldn't see 
one and thought I'd reply before deleting the mail :-)
