Question Hi Joseph,
In Windows XP Pro, when I left click on a file the option "Open With" box, says "Choose the program you want to use to open this file:
In the window it says "Other Programs:"
How can I remove these or display the programs only I want listed?
Thanks,
Elpie

First and foremost, thank you for selecting me as your support professional. I would like to apologize for the delay in response, my power has been out for the past three days due to a severe outage.
Okay, I will do my best to make your computer blues disappear. Keyword is try. There really is not a solution to your problem. You can only ADD a program by selecting Browse, then it will be added to the Other Programs list. You can do this for as many programs you want, but you cannot remove a program already on the list.
