Hey the support you sent looked good, but I changed that setting, but only
my
documents and those types of files have an open with... option when right
clicked, my programs don't. As I'm thinking I wouldnt even know what
program
to chose to run my other programs with if even had the open with...
option,
so I feel like there is a different setting that needs to be changed.
Thanx
for your help this far, if you can understrand my gibberish and have an
answer please send it asap.
