I have double entries of a same program in the main "Open With" dialog box. They are not particularly associated with a certain file extension. Dose anyone know how to delete one of them?

Hello Xuantu, and welcome to Vista Forums.
You can navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OpenWithList in the registry, and delete the subkeys (boxed in red below) for the Open With entries you do not want.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you for your reply.
The program I messed up was Windows Photo Gallery. I could not find it in the subkeys at the place where you showed me.:huh:
