Add to open with dialogue
Last response: in Windows XP
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)
Hello there: I can't seem to find how I can add to this right click
dialogue. I want to open .avi files with a certain player (mplayer) but it
doesn't show up in the right click dialogue. I guess it's because it's an
app that doesn't install, just an .exe file that runs from command line.
Thanx in advance
brian

As an alternative you can use the *Send To* on the right click context menu:
Start>Run> Type senddto >OK and drag or paste a shortcut into there.
FWIW I have created a new folder in there (to keep the length down)called
*Players* which has shortcuts to all 7 or 8 of my players....

In addition to Wesley's advice, see:
Arbitrary File Types:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/libr...
Excerpt:
For example, if you want to have Notepad appear in the context menu of an .htm file, use the following keys.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
..htm
OpenWithList
Notepad.exe
Additionally, Notepad needs to have the following application key entry.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Applications
Notepad.exe

Easiest way, David. But I just noticed that mplay32.exe is in the KillList
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileAssociation]
In order to make mplay32.exe appear in the Open With list, I had to remove the file reference from Killlist. Then, opened a .AVI file using mplay32.exe.
Now, I really don't understand the functionality differences between NoOpenWith and KillList. ;-)

Mark Dormer gives an insight, but haven't tested it myself:

The first method was only documented recently leading me to believe it's the
version 5 or 5.5 of the shell (NT5 and later operating system). The kill key
has always been in Win9x so try that one.

>>Killlist is from 95 NoOpenWith is ME/XP
Thanks. I assume that the Killlist exists in XP systems for backwards compatibility. Similar to "The long and sad story of the Shell Folders key" :-)

Killlist is from 95 NoOpenWith is ME/XP
But Mplay32 happily added itself to my Open With dialogs but not menu. The poster specified dialog. It's not in the top 1/2 but the bottom 1/2.

Easiest way, David. But I just noticed that mplay32.exe is in the KillList
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileAssociation]
In order to make mplay32.exe appear in the Open With list, I had to remove the file reference from Killlist. Then, opened a .AVI file using mplay32.exe.
Now, I really don't understand the functionality differences between NoOpenWith and KillList. ;-)
