Twayne,

What? - Do you mean that the GPO editor has the capability to
define which applications open all image-file-types (in this case) or,
all-audio-files, and all-video-files?

The key I quoted along with two others close to it ;

[...iations\Audio\Shell\...]
[...iations\Image\Shell\...]
[...iations\Video\Shell\...]

....*do* control the overriding opening application any file classed as
belonging to the above group-types.

Also, as well as the media-groups, there are keys for "Text-file-type",
"System-file-type", two Directory-containing-media-file-type keys (for
folders containing either Audio-file-type and Video-file-types) and
finally one key for Drives of type CD-ROM.

So you still really think that it's possible to set [define] any of that*¹
in the GPO Editor [gpedit.msc] ?

*¹ i.e. - meaning; to set overriding associations for "groups of
file-types" such as "Audio", "Image" and "Video".

Try locating the following key (if you are familiar with
and capable of editing the registry) and removing the
entries (if they exist) from under the "Shell" key there ;

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\audio\She ll]

...this key does not appear under the registered
File-Types, but deals with *all* classes of Audio-file.


*NB - Please exercise care when editing the registry,
always create a backup and / or create a 'System Restore'
point first.

How do I remove 'print' and 'edit' from context menu in
XP3? I can't find these in file types / or in the
registry / I have thoroughly searched but they keep
turning up in JPG images. Thanks,

Oreally

I seem to recall those were available controls in gpedit.msc? Easier than
doing a registry hack.
