Remove programs from Open With

Comment:

Hi there, I'm running WINDOWS VISTA. This problems pretty simple to explain. I was hoping someone out there would know where to go in the registry to fix this. Basically, for an IMAGE file, when I right click and select "Open With", I have about FIVE PROGRAMS to choose from. I only want two of those five. I want to delete, e.g. "QuickTime PictureViewer", which I'm never going to use. Anyone know where to go in the registry to delete these options / entries? Thanks very much! Marko

Why have the programs installed if you aren't going to be using them. Uninstall them. Jabbering Idiots: Everywhere You Look!

The registry key for Open with programs for Windows Vista is ... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ext\OpenWithList Be careful & watch what you are doing down there. i_Xp/VistaUser
