[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1420731, member: 4134"] There's no way keep an installed program out of the menu. That's kind of the point of that menu; it will always include everything, no matter how obscure or rarely used. Of course, it is often a long and cluttered list, which is why it's hidden away in a sub-menu where most people will never be bothered by them, most of the time. The questions I would ask are: Why would you "like to keep" apps that "you will never use?" Why not just chuck that HP PhotoSmart app? Why do you find yourself turning to the "Open with:" menu so often in the first place? It's a pretty awkward, last-resort way of working in my opinion. Would it be possible to set more appropriate defaults, or use an alternative method (like dragging the files to the application you'd prefer) of opening the files with the desired program instead?
