Description Dominic Guss CLA 2018-05-07 12:13:26 EDT 
When one or more media file extensions are associated with the new Windows 10 Photo application, which is the default associated photo viewing application, the SWT Program.findProgram(<"extension">) always returns null.

Still seems to be an issue.

Program.findProgram("jpg") retuns null with default settings.
But Progam.launch("c:/temp/foobar.jpg") can open the file.

If you assign a new program for jpg-exension (e.g paint) Program.findProgram("jpg") returns a valid program.

Program.getExtensions() returns all extension even those that are not working with Program#findProgram

Program.getPrograms() returns all programs but it seem that the value of extension for each program is null (checked per reflection).
