Select the bottom option, then look for "Microsoft Management Console" in the list of programs (expand the second half if it doesn't show at the top). If it's not there at all, browse and and c:\windows\system32\mmc.exe

Make sure to check "always use the selected program."

For the record you can also get to the services snap-in by right-clicking on computer and selecting Manage. Also, have you checked the machine for malware, as that might be responsible for removing the association.

Probably damages by virus.

Try runn - mmc, then File - Add snap-in.

For cure - run a full antivirus check and sfc/scannow (as admin, of course)

Depending on the OS, you sometimes don't need to add .msc on the end.

The "Application Information" service could be causing this problem. Have you disabled any other services, this can cause the issue that you are describing!

The Application Information service (AIS), introduced in Vista, is responsible for creating a new process to run applications with elevated privileges. You’ll typically see this happen when running an administrative application while having UAC turned on. If you disable this service, you won’t be able to run applications with elevated privileges, which means you won’t be able to manage your services to enable it again. If you somehow accidentally disable it, boot into safe mode to get access to your services so you can enable it again.

Open up Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and type in set pathext and hit return.

You should see a line like this:

PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC

If you don't type in:

set pathext=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC and hit return.

And of course, you need to be running Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
