- I tried to set the file association from the options menu. While it did remove the association with notepad it didn't associate the program with .DIZ files. After setting PlayThis as the default program manually it couldn't re-associate .DIZ files with notepad again either.

Hmm, this is the kind of problem I was really hoping wouldn't happen. You sort of lost me on that last sentence though. Anyway, I have a hunch this might have something to do with permissions and such (which I understand are a bit stricter in Windows 7). Any chance you could try running it as admin or whatever (if you haven't already)?

- The sentence "All dmod.diz files should now open with PlayThis.Other .diz files will be forwarded to Notepad." has a space missing. (/me is nitpicking)

At least that one's easy to fix.

- Whenever I press 'edit' DinkEdit is opened, I tried setting WinDinkEdit as the editor, but that didn't change anything.

Huh, that was working, I think I must have broke it while trying to fix something else.

EDIT: Could my problems be related to me putting the PlayThis.exe in a rather obscure location?

It shouldn't, though I can't swear that it wouldn't matter on Windows 7 with all the kludgy stuff it does.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I have a couple ideas to try out.
