Milt,
And I'm wondering if perhaps it may be generated from an MRU file.
Not from a MRU file, but from file associations itself.
Without knowing the full details about how you added Norton Ghost to Open with listing (and for which file type?):
You can prevent a program from being displayed in the open-with menu and in the open-with dialog by adding a "NoOpenWith" registry value for that application. More details available at this URL:
Arbitrary File Types:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../fileassociations/fa_arbitrary_file_types.asp
NoOpenWith. If a registry string with this value is present, this application is excluded from the Open With dialog box list. This value has no data associated with it.

Anando,
I understand what MRU files are. But I don't know why I need them or what
they do. Specifically, I'm looking at them because I have a problem. I
accidentally added a Norton Ghost program, "v2iMountSvc", to my "Open With"
list. That was a mistake and I want to remove it. I thought I eliminated it
from the "Open With" list yesterday by removing it from my registry in
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.
But today it returned! And I'm wondering if perhaps it may be generated from
an MRU file.
Thanks for your interest,
Milt

Hello,
MRU stands for Most Recently Used. Various applications including Windows XP keeps a various list of
documents, websites, shortcuts that you might have recently visited. Which MRUs do you specifically
want to enable/disable ?

I've recently become aware of my "MRU" files. I understand what they are. I
don't know what good they do. And I don't know if they cause any problems.
I would like to know if it's wise to leave them alone or if I should delete
them, and why.
Thanks,
Milt
