Re: File Associations

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As Wesley said. In case the application does not get added to the list, then try here:

Registering a program with the "Open With" dialog:

Right click a file, point to Open With and click Choose Program.
Click the Browse button to locate the program you want.
The program will be added to the Open With list.

Also...
Show Programs in the Open With Selection Box

In news:F4E330C4-5E40-45DB-8CDF-87F60EC0EB96@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Steve <Steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:

I like using the "right click - OPEN WITH" command to select the relevant
program to open up graphics files. That way I get the right software
depending on what I am about to do with the file.

However, Microsoft Photo Editor does not appear on the list. It is on my
machine as it appears in the Start-Programs list under MS Office 97 and is
fully functional if selected from this list.

What do I have to do to get it to appear on the "Open With ..." list ??

Thanks in advance ...................... Steve
