OPEN WITH feature in XP

[Farid Khalil]

Problem is as follows:
a) When I open a file using the "open With" option by
right-clicking
b) I get a list of programs by which to choose opening
this folder.
c) This list includes programs which I would like to
delete from the OPEN WITH list.
d) How do I do that?

Thank you.
Farid

Hi Farid,

Clear Dynamic "Open With" Lists
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/OpenWithClear.zip

To force a program to not be listed: Start/Run/Regedit

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications
Select the associated sub-key, add NoOpenWith.

Wow! That is an excellent description of your problem (I just had to comment
on that)...but yeah, Kelly had it right.
