While configuring the context menu "Open With" for a zip file, I input
a wrong application for opening the zip file by default.

Instead of clicking on "winzip64.exe" I clicked on "wzwipe32.exe".

Now, how do I get rid of the wrong input?

Please help if you know how. Thank you.


Control Panel/Default Programs is where you would make the change.




That's one way to do it. But a faster easier way for most people is to
right-click any zip file, click Open With, click Choose Default
Program, browse to WinZip, check the box Always use ... and click OK.

Both your methods work. Thank you. The only problem is that when I
right click on "Open With", the "wzwipe32.exe" is still there as a
recommended program.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my original post. What I'd like to do
is remove "wzwipe32.exe" from the context menu.
