Right click 'Open with' missing order. Help please.

A few days ago, I realized that the 'Open with' contextual right click menu command is missing. However its there at the top of the window on the "menu bar" or whatever.
Not sure how it happened. Maybe when I installed MS .net Framework 3 SP1 or maybe when I cleaned the registry with CCleaner.
I need to get it back please. Could U tell me how? Thank you.

Hi, scurvy:

By design, the open with menu option is not available when you click on executables (.cmd, .bat, .pif, .scf, .exe, .com or .scr), or shortcuts to executable files.

If you have lost the menu option open with for all types of files, including non-executable files, follow these steps:

1. click on Start, all programs, Accessories, Notepad.

2. copy and paste this text:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ * \shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open with]
@= "{09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936}".

3. click on file, record under, name the file "OpenWith.reg" (WITH THE QUOTES) and click OK.

4. double-click on OpenWith.reg, click continue, Yes, OKand see if the problem is resolved.

PS: My personal opinion is not to use no matter WHAT registry cleaner on the system.

  • Make a right click Open with 13 elements

    Not a huge biggie, but I have updated to PSE13 (like improvements, in particular the Undo feature; and the stability of PSE13 compared to 12 [for Mac which is]) I'm running OS Mavericks X 10.9.5. My camera a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 (camera great by-the-way). Now if I right click on the image of RW2 I do not receive an option to open with PSE13 which seems strange to me. I used 'open with' other PSE13 Publisher and chose always open with PSE13 said. So now as soon as I left click upward is PSE13 for editing that was precisely what I was looking for. The default value on the RC is PhotoMatix which I use occasionally. "Topaz" plug-ins simply hover of 12 to 13 so all very well that this stupid thing on the RC.

    So why not make an option open with PSE13 if you right-click a RW2 file? Everything on the hard drive offers this choice; other than my camera RW2 files.

    RC = right click.

    Thanks in advance

    Mozzy.

    I'm thrilled to say that the Village of items came prevails and completely solved the problem for me. Make a click right/get info/open bottom/change all and all and completely dusted.

    Make A right click now give me PSE13 as default or simply click on a RW2 file and it will open in PSE13.

  • Right click - > 'Open with' multiple files

    I open frequently many files in programs other than their default values.  However, I can no longer select several files and choose 'open with '.  Currently, I'm forced to open each file separately or reassign the default programs over and over again.

    Does anyone know if there are plans to add this feature in Windows 7, or why it was deleted?

    Hello

    One way to avoid this problem is to open the program first and then select the option open in this program where you can select the different files that you want to open.

    Is your copy of Mozilla's Firefox, or was it provided by your favorite distribution? Maybe your distro added some extra features in Firefox for a better integration. If you haven't already done so, try to download a copy here and see if you get a menu popup long in the executable file:
