Yzöwl Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 It the 'Open With' depends on the file extension you have selected.Could you give us some more information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonu27 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Noo.This open-with box is the same with any file.Right-Click any file, Choose Program. It will be under Other Programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
member11 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) the only way to stop windows from adding any programs to this open with list is to make the registry of open with list READ ONLY for your account's permission.btw, can you share me your open with list registry key.? I want to know where this key locates.thanks Edited June 21, 2005 by msfn11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonu27 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 (edited) Good program but not what I was looking for.But I managed to do it my self, using search in regedit. Weird because I typed the same thing as last time, but I didn't find it.Well here is the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Applications/Delete anything in that key and it will remove from open with.
