Quiky entry in Open With list

[Guest Terry Pinnell]

After trying to add a new program QTLite (an alternative to QuickTime)

to the Open With list for an MOV, instead of QTlite appearing in the

list I have this strange entry:

(I tried using it but not surprisingly nothing obvious happened.)

 

Anyone

 

a) Have any idea how this came about?

 

b) Know how to get rid of it?

After some googling I found this link

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=258860

but the registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\

Explorer\FileExts\.MOV\OpenWithList

doesn't have a Setup/Uninstall entry.

 

c) How to achieve my original aim of adding this program to the

OpenWith list?

 

Thanks.

Hi Terry,

 

Try:

 

Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/openwithadd.htm

 

You can assign a friendly name using the tool. The icon comes from the executable.

Thanks Ramesh. Somehow, after fiddling in various ways and rebooting,

it happily vanished!
