I installed the newest version of Nero and it did the same thing. I couldn't find anything in any of the setting to change the association so I contacted tech support. They told me it was easy just use open and use this program all the time except the Nero icon never went away and half the time they wouldn't re-associate. I use more free Windows programs and get better support from than I do on any of the stuff I've paid for. I had to reinstall the software for my HP 3 in 1 but the scanner is missing in the HP software but I can get a free third party software and it scans fine. And the software industry can't figure out why their software gets pirated!
