Do you know a way to remove unnecessarily items from "open with.." window? (I mean really remove them from displaying in this window)

Hi Kobbie
This is what you suppose to do: -Open My Computer>View>Folder Options>File Types. -There you have the full list of aplication. -You just select one application, press Remove button; then other application...and so on.
Please let me know how it worked.Good luck!

The advice from Stefan will create problems for you. What this does is basicly 'unregister' file types from the 'parent' application.
EG: If you have a CAD program and its registered file type is ".DWG" file extension and you delete this using Stefan's method, you will not be able to open a .DWG fie using a 'double click'
The only way I know of is editing the registry and removing the "ShellNew" value from unwanted items in the 'New' list.

Summary: It's called the system tray, and you can remove items (or, specifically, keep those programs from running) by going to START -> RUN -> MSCONFIG (assuming you are on win98) and going to the startup tab...
Summary: I have deleted Net2Phone but that item is still listed in my IE5 Tools Menu. How could I remove it since the program is no longer on my computer? ...
