registry. I've found a December 2005 thread which was kind of the
reverse of my problem! The request asked for help removing a
double-entry in the "Open with list".
I need to configure an installation program to *add* the software
(e.g. APP.exe) to the "open with" list.
Am I right in thinking I need to add the line:
Software\Classes\Applications\APP.exe\shell\open\command
To one of:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
or
HKEY_LOCAL_USER
Will the latter add it to only one user? Which should I use?
The installation currently doesn't need admin privileges. Will adding
this registry entryrequire admin privileges?
Many thanks in advance,
Tony
Can't you just "choose program>browse" and select the program you want?
