Deleting the program name from the Open With List
Here's the deal, I am one of those unfortunate people who have to have things
as perfect as possible. I was playing around with my computer and added a non executional program to my list. Now here's the kicker I have and use the program itself, I just browsed and picked a incorrect version of it and now I can't remove from list. What do I need to do?!?!

Re: Deleting the program name from the Open With List
Open-with dialog or the Open-with sub-menu?
To remove an application from the open-with dialog, then open Regedit.exe and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\ Delete the <Programname>.exe sub-key. To remove items from the Open-with menu, see: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/openwith.htm Additionally, to prevent an application from being listed in the Open With dialog and menu, then use the "NoOpenWith" registry value, which is documented in this MSDN article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de.../fileassoc.asp -- Ramesh, Microsoft MVP Windows XP Shell/User Windows XP Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "supercasper" <supercasper@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3640100C-76C0-484A-B556-60C16463D12A@microsoft.com... >I should also add that the list I am referring to is the one that when you > right click on the item and click on Open With... > > "supercasper" wrote: > >> Here's the deal, I am one of those unfortunate people who have to have >> things >> as perfect as possible.

Re: Deleting the program name from the Open With List
Your information you provided states where to go on the regedit to see what's
in the OpenWithList. But there is not + sign in front of it = no submenu. Now what?!?!

Re: Deleting the program name from the Open With List
what's the difference between the menu or dialog?
As I mentioned before. The list I am referring to is the one when you right-click on the item and you click on Open With... and a list of programs show up. And then I can select the program from the list or browse for something different to open that file with! "Ramesh, MS-MVP" wrote: > In which registry location.

Re: Deleting the program name from the Open With List
Then you're referring to the open-with dialog.
To remove an application from the open-with dialog, open Regedit.exe and navigate to: Backup the following keys by exporting to a REG file. (Use the File > Export option) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Applications\ Delete the <Programname>.exe sub-key. Repeat the same here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Applications\ Delete the <Programname>.exe sub-key if exists.
