jbm Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Open widows registry browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PDFFILE.Or do you mean .pdf file? If you don't see a key nameopenwithlist create it. Under that key create seperatekeys named pdfreader1.exe, pdfreader2.exe etcI'n not an expert my any means but I tried adding word padto my openlist of .pdf files. this is the .reg file I extractedafter. Note I know I can't really use wordpad to open pdf files,it was just a test to see if I cpould get it to appear in my open withlist.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf]"Content Type"="application/pdf"@="AcroExch.Document"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\OpenWithList]@=""[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\OpenWithList\AcroRd32.exe]@=""[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\OpenWithList\wordpad.exe][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pdf\PersistentHandler]@="{B7509D6F-85EE-11d0-AF7D-00C04FD8DC02}" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajua Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 also, i think you may need the progIDs keys in the registry to use them in Open With...im not sure, but you should try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
