Something happened with my OPEN WITH

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?

Anyone know how to put back?

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.
