Subject: Edit File Type dialog box question 11/13/2005 6:15 PM PST

Following instructions on the Windows site, Article ID : 321379, to "print
a directory listing", I added the command to the file type dialog by clicking
"New". After clicking OK, I tried out the command but then wished to alter
it to save the listing as well. However, it was then impossible either to
edit the command or delete it- both options were greyed out. Clicking on
"Default" made it much worse.

How do I edit or delete a command in this dialog box?

I have the appropriate administrative powers but Windows seems to restrict
my access to further modification of this box.

The computer runs XP professional SP2

Thank you for your help.

Velson,

Start Regedit.exe and navigate to:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell

Select the appropriate item (sub-key) and then delete it.

Close Regedit.exe
