OPEN WITH Context Menu: Can Programs Be Prevented From Appearing There?
Hi everyone.
I'd like to clean out, for lack of a better term, the OPEN WITH context menu listings, for certain file extensions. More importantly, if it is possible, I'd like to "lock" them, to prevent programs from being listed there. Let me elaborate: For the HTM extension, the following programs are listed in the Open With --- context menu: Internet Explorer Microsoft Office Front Page Notepad Microsoft Office Word Microsoft Office Excel Microsoft Office Publisher WordPad I found a freeware utility that is supposed to clean out these listings, but it did not work. I'm willing to edit the registry manually, if need be. I need to be told what to edit, please. More importantly: Let's say I want only Front Page and Notepad in this context menu area, and nothing else--EVER. Is that possible? Is it possible to prevent other programs from being placed in this context menu region? Thank you very much! Please remove the number 5 from the listed e-mail address if you choose to reply privately. Thank you! J. Danniel |
