[QUOTE="carloscalisi, post: 1420624, member: 260028"] [b]How does this work?[/b] [FONT="Verdana"]Thank you for the response! I downloaded this and have attempted to use it, but I'm not quite sure I understand how it works. I understand that it can be used to change the default program that opens certain file extensions (URLS, etc), but I don't understand how it can limit the apps that appear in the "Open With" menu. To restate, in case I was misunderstood: I'd like to remove certain programs that appear in the Open With menu. When I click a .jpg and show the Open With menu, I see programs that I will never use to open a picture or other file, e.g. HP Photosmart Create/Print/Share/etc. And I find it relatively ugly, cumbersome and overall superfluous to have these applications show up in this Open With menu. So, is there a way to remove specific applications from this menu? If this program does that, can you please help me to understand how? Thanks again! Carlo [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
