Default Edit the 'open with' - 'chose default program' list

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.


When you right-click on your png file, you need to select "Open With"
and you get something like in this pictu

Open-With http://s11.postimg.org/ww06a35lv/2015_05_26_2033.png

Click on More Options and then scroll down until you get "Look for
another APP on this PC". You can now browse for your image editing
program or whatever you prefer.
