How to turn off 'Open With' dialog box when clicking on un..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.group_policy (More info?)

I don't know if it is possible, but my first thought is to get Tweakui (MS
freebee tool) and see if it can perform the neccessary registry edits.

Found HKCU\Software\MS\Win\CV\Policy\Explorer\NoFileAssociate=1 DWORD
disables the user's ability to change the association.
Also HKCR\Unknown allows changing the whole server and how it associates -
but admins would get hit as well - not really what I want.
I'll keep looking.

Found HKCR\Applications\app.exe put an empty string 'NoOpenWith' and these
apps will not be available in the 'open with' menu.
