When I right click a PNG file and pick the 'open with' option and then 'choose default program', I get one item in the
list that is "%1".
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.

For anyone interested I fixed the issue. It was QuickTime. I found the answer in this link:

Down on page 1 a post by S Malik replied on December 16, 2014 they basically said all the keys in

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.pict\shell\open\comman d]
@=" \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.png\shell\open\command]
@=" \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\QuickTime.pnt\shell\open\command]
@=" \"%1\""

Etc etc are all set to simply "%1"

I tried setting the string @=..... but that did not work, just showed the @=.... on the list. So I just deleted the
entire QuickTime.png entry. Bingo list fixed.

There is a later note that they just reverted back to an older copy of quicktime. And as I don't need quicktime
(now), I'm just going to toss the whole program away!!!
