Details:

I first installed Octave 4.0.3 with the Windows executable. It associated .m
files with Octave as I requested.

I later installed Octave 4.2.0-w64 with the Windows executable. I told it to
associate .m files with Octave. 

Before running Octave 4.2.0, I uninstalled Octave 4.0.3. After that, .m files
were no longer associated with Octave. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling
Octave 4.2.0 but got the same result. I uninstalled Octave, then re-installed
the older 4.0.3 version (and told it to associate .m files with Octave), but I
can't get the association back.

Note - during all uninstalls, when it asked me to attempt to delete any extra
files associated with Octave I clicked Yes.
