hi,

I am 1 registry tweak short of having all I want, but I can't find this one anywhere.

When you try to open a file windows doesn't know how to handle, you get that stupid box for choosing if you want to search the web for something to open it or just select from a list. I doubt anyone ever uses the search the web option, and would love to disable this and make it go directly to the select program window.

anyone know how?

(p.s. I tried searching here for it, but it kept failing and giving me a zero data returned error - well thats what squid was telling me at least)

thanks, I tried again and the search worked this time, but didn't seem to come up with anything useful. I checked through the large registry sticky for "open with" but couldn't find anything that helped :)

I haven't been able to find it either. I'll keep looking because I want this regedit aswell.

it's in my install.inf and i've answered the question at least a couple times...

-gosh

That's what I thought... but it's hard to find the answer with search... Thanks for your help though gosh. I didn't even think of looking in your install.inf.
