I tried all the ideas above (registry entries, etc.) - no luck. What ended up fixing it for me was this:

2. right click on a .sql file and select "Open With..." > "Choose Default Program"
3. Select Notepad
4. Double click on the file - it should open in notepad.
5. close notepad.
6. right click the .sql file again and select "Open With..." > "Choose Default Program"

Hope this helps :)
