Program list

[hankach]

Hi all,

How can i clear the crowded "open with" list in win 2000? if i use the registry file ext delete method [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts]
,would it affect files with such deleted extensions and they wont be opened later on even if their program is still installed?

Any suggestion for a software or other method ?
Please advise if i shall copy to other forum subject .

Thank you very much .

Are you sure that this will work right for windows 2000 or only for windows xp ?

Thank you .

Actually I'm not sure about the utility. Hope some one else used it on win2k. but there is no harm to try it. since its a utility (doesnt install any thing on ur system) need to unzip and run thats it.
