Something happened with my OPEN WITH

Post by Maxdout38 »

Hello:

Could someone please help.
I would click on a jpg or gif and I could right click and have the option to "OPEN WITH".

That option is now gone.

How can I restore this option?

Thank you

When you do the same action in windows explorer, is the result the same?

Solved:

If you've lost the Open With menu option for ALL file types, including non-executable files, follow this steps:

1. Click Start, All Programs, Accesories, Notepad.

2. Copy and paste this text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With]
@="{09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936}"

3. Click File, Save As, name the file "OpenWith.reg" (WITH THE QUOTATION MARKS) and click OK.

4. Now double-click OpenWith.reg, click Continue, Yes, OK, and see if the problem is solved.
