Figured it out ! - How to open a file with a program.
John,
Those methods will *disable* that tickbox, meaning that you can't (re)assign a filetype, even if you would want to ... :-( I remember discovering that too, now you mention it. While I was looking for the "keep unticked" method I also stumbled over an old conversation of yours, and not getting a usable answer there either. :-\ I've also tried to find if the OpenAs_RunDLL functuion would accept any argument switches, but alas. Al it seems to accept is the filename. I did find a setting to skip the "search on the web" dialog (untested), but nothing else. Though there was an answer which would maybe be something for you you: instead of using "Open with" you could use "Send to". That one you can populate which whatever executable you want (scripts too). Another way could possibly be to replace the "openas" command in the registry by a (vb)script (as you indicated that you did not want to use third-party programs) which would only offer the "find an executable" part (no easy, "you have used these executables before for this filetype" selection) - and possibly linking thru to the origional method when nothing is selected (also needed to permanently change a link).
