Edit Open With Items in Windows


When you right-click an item in Windows you get lots of options to choose from. One is to open or edit the file and for the case that you want to open it with a different application the Open With menu comes in handy. It’s another option available in the right-click menu which displays a list of programs which are often never used to open a file in Windows.

Why would I want to keep Notepad in that list if I have Notepad++ installed for instance, this does not make much sense. OpenWithView [via Download Squad] lists all applications of that menu with the option to enable or disable them. Disabling means that they will not be listed when you open the menu.

The software is another high quality NirSoft application which does not require installation and works with Windows XP, 2003 Server and Windows Vista.

    Yeah, OK, the program will display “open with context menu” entries. This is, however, not much help in actually ALTERING (other than enabling/disabling) those entries. After reading every entry in the sketchy help file, attempting to use the (non) edit window and so forth, I am forced to conclude that
    this program, while minimally informative, is quite useless.
