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.


In general:
SHIFT-right-click on a item of that type, select "Open With"*»
"Choose default program".


Didn't I say this yesterday? g


You may have done, but I didn't see it. Did you also suggest just
running Winzip to let it repair the associations?

Except I didn't say SHIFT right-click. That's because holding down the
Shift key, which was necessary in older versions of Windows, is not
necessary in Windows 7.


By Jove, you're right! So many useful things in Win 7 require Shift-
right-click that I've got out of the habit of doing a plain right-
click.
