| 497511 | 2006-11-08 08:11:00 | See for yourself: img293.imageshack.us What can I do to get rid of the second one? They both do the same thing, and neither of them are different versions. |

You can add a menu item that will send files to any folder you want. Navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo for Windows 2000 and XP, or C:\Windows\SendTo for Windows 98 and Me. If you don't see the folder you want, select Folder Options from the Tools menu, click on the View tab, and check Show hidden files and folders. Remove the extra entry. |

Uh, I'm not sure if this is what I was asking for... I did what you said, but it just took me to the SendTo folder and nothing else. Where is this extra entry? :confused: |

| 497515 | 2006-11-16 08:52:00 | This seems like it... www.informit.com Removing an Application from a File Type’s Open With Menu When you use the Open With dialog box to choose an alternative application to open a particular file type, that application appears on the file type’s Open With menu (that is, the menu that appears when you select the File, Open With command). To remove the application from this menu, open the following Registry key (where ext is the file type’s extension): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\ FileExts\.ext\OpenWithList Delete the setting for the application you want removed from the menu. Also, edit the MRUList setting to remove the letter of the application you just deleted. For example, if the application setting you deleted was named b, delete the letter b from the MRUList setting. Removing a Program from the Open With List Rather than customizing only a single file type’s Open With menu, you might need to customize the Open With dialog box for all file types. To prevent a program from appearing in the Open With list, open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Applications Here you’ll find a number of subkeys, each of which represents an application installed on your system. The names of these subkeys are the names of each application’s executable file (such as notepad.exe for Notepad). To prevent Windows XP from displaying an application in the Open With list, highlight the application’s subkey, and create a new string value named NoOpenWith. (You don’t have to supply a value for this setting.) To restore the application to the Open With list, delete the NoOpenWith setting. NOTE The NoOpenWith setting only works for applications that are not the default for opening a particular file type. For example, if you add NoOpenWith to the notepad.exe subkey, Notepad will still appear in the Open With list for text documents, but it won’t appear for other file types, such as HTML files. |

| 497516 | 2006-11-16 08:52:00 | This can be correct with editing the registery key involved. You can find instructions here (windowsxp.mvps.org). Make sure you follow the backup advice of the key before deleting it. You have to be careful in the registry and make sure you only remove the stated key. | Jen (38) | ||
