239435 2004-05-26 07:22:00 Hi Guys, I recently formatted my C drive and now, when I right click on a file the drop down menu does'nt have 'Open with' on it, just 'Open'. Anyone know how to fix? Marcus (2414)
239436 2004-05-26 08:10:00 Have a look at thisHere (support.microsoft.com) johnboy (217)
239437 2004-05-26 22:19:00 That was a good lead johnboy but the 'open as' value in my registry reads as it should. Have to try something else.... Marcus (2414)
239438 2004-05-26 23:25:00 go Here (Kellys Corner Reg file fixs\Troubleshooting Windows XP, Tweaks and Fixes for Windows XP.htm) scroll down to 220 restore open with on right click.

239442 2004-05-29 07:12:00 Open With Command Is Missing for .Bat, .Exe, or .Com Files
Applies To
This article was previously published under Q259908
SYMPTOMS
When you right-click an executable file with a .bat, .exe, or .com file extension, the Open With command is missing.
RESOLUTION
In previous versions of Windows, the Open With command is not an available command when you right-click any file, but you can press and hold down SHIFT when you right-click a file to make the Open With dialog box appear.
