Hi All,

I like to modify the context menus for a couple of file types. Where are
they stored. If in the Registry, under which key?

When I right-click *.html and then hover over "Open With", I get::
Firefox
Internet Explorer
Firefox
<oXygen/> XML Editor 6.2
WordPad
Notepad
LaunchAnywhereGUI
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002

For *.xml, I get:
<oXygen/> XML Editor 6.2
Firefox
Internet Explorer
Notepad
WordPad
Microsoft Office Word

I've got an additional problem, but if I can learn where these links are
stored, I may be able to solve my other problem myself.

Regards,
Richard
