Photoshop elements 8 under windows 7 "open with" cannot link editor

Question

Hello,
I recently upgraded my computer to 64bit, loaded my photographs and can open adobe photoshop elements 8 and editor and work on pictures.  However, I usually browse my pictures in windows explorer, open folders of interest and see small pictures and browse to select.  On picture I rigfht click and chose to "open with".  Now adobe elementsw editor does not appear in this list as it did previously.  I select "chose the program to open with" and when I find it and select it, it still does not appear.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help,

Hi,
Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.
