I'm going to admit that I was editing the programs that open and edit
PNG files a few days ago and I guess something got mistyped. But now I
have this idiotic "%1" item. Does anyone know where the list is stored.

I'm picking the 'chose default program' option not so much to make a new
default, as I will uncheck the 'do this always' box, but I want to one
time pick a program that is not in that first list, so I have to go
there to get more options.

TIA.

Would something like this help ?

Apparently, there's some issue with Microsoft Office
entries. So maybe it doesn't handle all possible
formulations. But with a little luck, you'll slay
that errant %1.
