Permanently Remove Check Mark In Always Use This Program--- The following trick worked in W98SE to permanently remove the check mark in the "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file". I messed up tonight and associated a .dsc file(dscrypt) with Adobe Reader. I couldn't get it to disassociate from AR with the Default Programs, so I found the registry entry and deleted it with a backup, just in case. All is well now but I want to get that check default check mark out before I mess up again sometime. UNCHECK OPEN WITH "This tweak permanently unchecks the "Always use this program to open this file type" checkbox on the "Open With" dialog box, when opening a non-associated file type. Run Regedit and go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command Add %2 to the current "Default" value as shown here: C:\WINDOWS\Rundll32.exe Shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1 %2 Close Regedit and press F5 to refresh the Desktop." If you have a problem associating a file after this tweak go to this link for important info: http://forums.techguy.org/showthrea... (#8 and #14 Response) I found this same registry key in Vista and added the %2 and restarted but it didn't have any effect on the check mark. Does anybody have a solution? Take Care Deke

Found this. Vista http://www.askvg.com/how-to-enable-... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22... Method A: 1. Open regedit and goto: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\opendlg\command 2. In right-side pane, change value of "Default" key to as following: %SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1 %2 NOTE: We have only appended %2 at last of default value. You can use any number from 2-9. Verified on my Vista x64 machine. Take Care Deke
