You should not need to associate a file type with a program if all you want do is drag drop files of that type into that program. FX: you should be able to drag an mp4 video into the calibre book list and have a book item created with the mp4 in the book folder -- without changing Default Programs or the file type Open With list for mp4 files.

Try running the MS System File Checker tool
