File associations are a feature of your editor, not of your TeX system.
 In your case, WinEdt takes a cautious approach.  It only registers file
types is you explicitly ask it to.  To set this up, in WinEdt:

Options -> Configuration Wizard
Filetype associations tab
On the right-hand side, use the Modify button: I'd do All Users (Classes
Root) for this.
