Smile Solved: Program "Open with" problem
I wanted to use Gimp as a program to pictures with but it was not listed in Open with > Choose program. I stupidly tried to put an entry into this box but only ended up with 2 entries that did not work and I do not know how to delete them. The entries are Gimp 2 and Setup/uninstall (which is Gimp). I am attaching a screen shot to show the 2 unwanted entries. Can you help me to remove them?

removing those entries requires you to edit the windows registry, and a mistake in doing this can cause real problems.

It does not hurt a thing to have them in the list.
