"Open With" Menu Box Question
hi, I want to delete some programs from the "open with" menu box (for
opening graphic files), the one that contains the "recommended programs" and "other programs" lists. You can't do it by right clicking or highlighting and deleting. I even searched for folders called "recommended programs" and "other programs" but couldn't find any. Help! Thanks. |

You can't do it by right clicking or highlighting and deleting. I even searched for folders called "recommended programs" and "other programs" but couldn't find any. This can be modified in regedit. Start, Run, Type: regedit HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1131426265-79857088-3472284960-1006\Software\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts Select the extension you want to modify, choose "OpenWithList" and delete the value you want removed from the list of programs. Know how to restore the registry if problems arise. Corruption can cause XP to fail. |
