You are so lucky. I've installed on every Windows machine I've had for years and have never had it work out of the box. I've got to right-click a .7z and choose open with -> 7zip.

I'll take a look at my setup when I get home tonight.

You can change the associations in the program settings but you have to be in administrator mode, otherwise they don't stick. http://www.7-zip.org/faq.html

It doesn't associate on setup. You have to open 7zip, go to options and you see this http://i.imgur.com/12dpE7G.png

I usually click "Select all" then unselect ISO. Done.

Edit: other person replied it must be opened in Administrator mode. That explains why I didn't have it associated.
