I have a notepad replacement editor with an annoyingly long Friendly
name. When I try to access it via the "open with" right click option
it stretches the menu half way across the display.

The only place I find this very unfriendly friendly name in the
registry is as an entry in the MUICache. If I edit it to something
shorter it "heals" itself withing a few minutes.

Does anyone have any suggestion that might help.

I've searched through the actual program with Ultra Edit but I don't
find the string in the .exe file. There's not a real installation for
the program so I can't figure out where the friendly name is coming
from.

Any ideas?
