Re: Whacky Filehandling...

Hi trackfan,

See if the information at the following sites help you to resolve the
problem:

Clicking the "Open With" or "Choose Program..." option always opens the file
with Notepad?

Right-click is slow or weird behavior caused by context menu handlers

Been researching strange file handling behavior without much resolve.
When right clicking files or programs and using 'Open With' context
option, Windows launches notepad.exe. Depending on type of file ,
explorer crashes or causes lenghty delay.

While researching I found various .reg tips involving
[HKCR\SystemFileAssociations\} folder. Well...that directory doesn't
exist in this registry. I looked at another machine and it's missing
there too.

I could use a sanity check , should I worry running sessions without
any PerceivedType references? Could I just write those keys?

And how to best troubleshoot the 'open with' annoyance?

Cheers,
Frank
