Right click "open with" command

[tcahill]

when I right click on a jpeg file I get the "open with" dialog box. That
dialog shows two entries for the program that I want to use i.e. Adobe
Photoshope. One of them is dead, when I click it nothing, the other link
works. how do I remove the bad link/entry?

Appreciate some assistance, thanks in advance

Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that I'm using WinXP home SP2 and the
article you referred me to does not apply to this OS. Could you send me
another that does. Sorry for the inconveince.

While the article does not mention XP, the same keys are there in the
Registry in XP, i.e., these keys exist:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpg\OpenWithList
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.jpeg\OpenWithList
