How do I clean up the "open with->choose program" menu on right-mouse-click in explorer ?

[Al Dykes]

Every program I ever installed on my mature w2k system still has an entry on
"choose program" in explorer. How do I clean it up?

Thanks

Is this going to work on a w2k system?

Probably. Windows 2000 and XP both use this key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\FileExts\.extension\OpenWithList
