No kidding! I just tried this on my Win7 Pro x64 machine and got the 
normal expected behavior! I have VS6.0 and VS2008 installed on here. I 
can't recall when I started getting normal behavior but I'm pretty sure 
I had to use 'Open with...' and specify Visual Basic 6.0 for vbp files 
with the 'always use' option.
