The 2nd "Preview" can be removed using the following steps:
Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\giffile\shell\open\command
Backup the key by exporting it to a REG file.
Double-click the (default) value in the right pane, and set its data as:
rundll32.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen %1
Close Regedit.exe
The 2nd problem should also be resolved (iexplore.exe should no longer add to the OpenWithList)

Windows® XP Troubleshooting

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
Internet Explorer 7
I'm trying to changing the Context Menu for .gif files.
Presently it is as follows:
Preview
Edit
Print
Preview
===============
Open With >
Internet Explorer
Paint
Adobe Photoshop CS2
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer
Paint Shop Pro 8
Microsoft Office Picture Manager
First I want to delete the "Open With > Internet Explorer" item.
I make a change to the registry as follows; deleting the "iexplorer.exe"
string value:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.gif\OpenWithList]
"a"="mspaint.exe"
"b"="Photoshop.exe"
"c"="shimgvw.dll"
"d"="Paint Shop Pro.exe"
"MRUList"="abcd"
But the instant I right click on a .gif file, the "iexplorer.exe" string
value magically reappears!!
I've been successful at deleting the "Open With > Internet Explorer" context
menu item for .jpg and .bmp files.
But with .gif files it keeps coming right back.
I also desire to delete the second "Preview" in the top section and can't
find it in the registry anywhere.
Can anyone tell me how to permanently delete "Open With > Internet Explorer"
and the second "Preview" items in the context menu for .gif files? I don't
understand why after I delete the "iexplorer.exe" sting value it restores
itself with just a single right click on a .gif file.
