Hello Renuka,

You could use Method Two in this tutorial to do so.

Open With - Add Program

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: Make entry to "Open With" list

thanks shawn.
actualy my expectation like, when u right click the notepad, "open with" option. in that option i want to show All exe programs. i don't want "Choose default programs" option. for example if im making exe for any file like C#.net, Vb.net any application. that exe should comes under "Open with" option. without clicking any " Choose default" option.it should come automatically to "open with" under.
thanks advance

Renuka,

That program in the tutorial will add them to the Open With area for you to select them when you right click on the file without having to browse to them each time. You just have to add them all first with that program though.

Re: Make entry to "Open With" list

Are you using the program in METHOD TWO, not METHOD ONE?

Re: Make entry to "Open With" list

Renuka,

There is no option to just manually add items to the Open With selection area. You would have to use METHOD TWO to do that instead.

This tutorial is the only other option, but it will not add the program to Open With. It will just assign the program to open the file extension.

Default Programs

Hope this helps,
Shawn
