re: Context Menu "OpenWith"

hi, sorry for the delayed reply.

one was an avi file, which just gave sound & another was a file in an XP disc.

i like the option to open some files, say with videolan instead of wmp sometimes, so an open with in the context menu would be handy.



cheers

re: Context Menu "OpenWith"

open with will NOT allow you to open a shortcut or an executable, but it should allow you to open your .avi file (again, it it's not a shortcut).

Hello BJ,

Try this .reg file download below. It restores the default Open With entries in the registry. Restart the computer afterwards.

View attachment Open_With.reg

If you still do not see Open With when you right click on non shortcuts or application files, then download and install the file extension listed at the link below. If it's not listed, then please list it here and I'll add it.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
