Open With "MarkC" <None[ at ]nospam.com> 6/18/2007 5:46:48 AM Using XP Pro SP2 Where is the OPEN WITH folder (if one exist) located in the directory? Or is it in the registry? Why I ask, is that when I right click on a jpg file, a choice comes which has OPEN WITH Painter. I checked within that application to see if there was a preference setting and could not find one. So I was wondering if there is a way to remove it manually. Thanks, Mark

Pick whatever program you want to use and check the box "Always use this program to open ...........".

Re: Open With "MarkC" <None[ at ]nospam.com> 6/19/2007 12:23:28 AM Thanks Jerry, my real concern is the Painter OPEN WITH that's listed, and I really want to clear it. I already have a default program that will "Always" load jpgs when I double click on it. Which is setup by your suggestion. Thanks Again!

Re: Open With RajKohli 6/19/2007 7:23:01 AM Try this: 1. Click Start - Run 2. type REGEDIT and press Enter key. 3. Expand to (instead of further Searching anything else regarding WFV): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\FileExts\.extension\OpenWithList 4. Here .extension is the file type you want to modify. For instance, .RA 5. Then the accurate key will HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\FileExts\.RA\OpenWithList 6. In the right side pane, there will be a list of programs who support that file type. E.g.: a. Winamp.exe b. wmplayer.exe 7. Select the entry you don't required and delete it. 8. If that doesn't change anything then you can also delete the entry from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Explorer\FileExts\.RA\OpenWithProgids If you are not still sure then please do not modify the Registry as it can harm your Windows and live with that Open With list until you find a desire and accurate solution. Hope this information helps you, let us know! "MarkC" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Thanks Jerry, my real concern is the Painter OPEN WITH that's listed, and I > really want to clear it.

Re: Open With "MarkC" <None[ at ]nospam.com> 6/20/2007 1:52:29 AM Thanks everyone for the help in this area. I was successful in removing the unwanted Open With Application, but unfortunately when I start that application, it re-enters the Open With again. I looked in the application, and it's not user set, so I guess I will have to live with it. By the way, the application is Corel Painter Essentials 3. Thanks again!
