'Open with' on Vista by djdannyp on 12-22-2008 at 09:37 PM
Okay, for some reason on Vista I have WinZip twice on the 'Open with' menu for zip/rar files, etc.
Anyone know of any way to remove one of the entries?
Btw, I do only have WinZip installed once

regedit
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Locate the file extension you wish to modify
Expand the file extension entry
Select OpenWithProgIds, locate the program you wish to remove from the list and delete it.
Reboot system

None of the extensions have 'OpenWithProgIds" 
other ones do, but not any of the ones to do with WinZip

try HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.zip\OpenWithProgids

OKay, well that is there
Under that key there's just WinZip and Compressed Folder
but there's also "OpenWithList" and in there is listen WinRAR, WinZip.....and all the other programs that show up when I right click and do 'Open With'
is that normal behaviour, or is it possibly something to do with my problem?
