Thanks for ur suggestion! but it doesn't solve the problem! i want to see a list of programs under open with. it's not giving me any options

Operating System and type of file u r trying to open?

[q3_abhi]

Hey use a software like System Mechanic or Winboost . There is an option named "Show Open With" or something like that. This can solve ur problem.

Radhika try this:
Restore "Open With" on the Right Click

Post ur reply once tried.

rajas has suggested registry changes. Desist from it if you are not an experienced user.

Just select a file. Now hold down the shift key when you right click. That will give you an option of "Open With"

There is a difference between shift + right click and select + shift + right click, at least in Win98.

You suggested the former, I suggested the later :roll:
