DISABLE "Open With"
Hellow everyone,
I had once upon a time mistakenly checked the box "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" in the "Open With" dialogue box. What to do now so as to disable the said option AND re-ask the question upon double-clicking a file of such a nature? -- Best Regards, FARAZ A. QURESHI

DISABLE "Open With"
I don't know if this would help you or not. But if you go into "Control Panel
Folder Options" and go to the Tab that says "File Types" you can always remove which program recognizes the file. I had made the mistake of making Windows Messenger my default picture opener. (Don't ask me how I did it...). I hope this gives a little bit of insight to anyone..

Scroll down to the extension in question. Click on Delete. (You may need to do this from an account with administrator's privileges.) -- Remove del for email ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com **
