Where is Microsoft XML Editor Installed ?

I was surprised to find a program, apparently from MS, called XML Editor on my Windows 7 64 machine when I clicked on a XML file. I want to associate it to .xsd files as well, but cannot find where it is installed, only that it is called XML Editor.

I've scanned by PC for like names. It does not show up as a program to associate to. When I try to associate, I have to browse for it.

See attached screen shot.

This does seem to be IE 9 related. The gear box About Box shows About Internet Explorer. What is odd is that my right click open explicitly show XML Editor as an open option. Since I want to associate XSDs to this program, I need to somehow find where it is to do the association. Even the association setup in the control panel will show this linked to XML, but will not list it when I try to associate it to other files. - it requires a search.

See new attached image. Where is this ? I did try the search to no avail ...

Thanks,

So, just do an association for the XSD file to Internet Explorer.

The last screen shot was for a .xml file - which shows XML editor as an option. XML editor is not listed as an option for XSDs. To associate XML Editor to XSDs you have to search for it - which is my original problem. It is apparently not a standalone program.

Sarge516--You probably caught it but my instructions above are missing a step.
Open With|select XML Editor|UNcheck the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"|OK should read
Open With|Choose Default Program (if necessary)|select XML Editor|UNcheck the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"|OK
