Answer
Dear Elpie,

    Thank you for contacting Expert Communications Inc. My name is Joe Thomas, I am a Microsoft Windows Product Support Specialist and will be assisting you with your question in regards to Open With Problem in Windows XP. 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.

  Elpie, on behalf of the entire crew at Expert Communications, I thank you for selecting us as your premiere source for technical support on the internet. I am devoted 24\7 to my clients, I will work on the case all day if I have to, you are my number one priority. I treat every client as they are my only client and will make sure you receive the highest level of support I can provide. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. I will provide assistance to this problem until it is fixed to your satisfaction.

  If you do not require further assistance and wish to end this question, please submit your Feedback Questionnaire. This is used for quality assurance and training purposes.

It has been my truest honor serving you today,

Joe Thomas
