Here's the text that goes with Elvandil's suggestion ... Did you try it yet ???
For some strange reason .. mine seems to clean itself if I don't use a program for a while ..
then I have to browse for it.

Clear Dynamic "Open With" Lists Copyright 2002 - Doug Knox
When you right click on a file in Windows XP, one of your options is Open With. This listing of programs contains some that are predefined and some that are added because you chose a program that wasn't on the list. Over time this list can build up to quite a number of programs.
Clear Open With Lists will allow you to selectively remove the "dynamic" portion of this list for a file extension that you choose (from a list). Or, if you prefer, you can remove all "dynamic" entries for all file extensions.
Future enhancements include the ability to select multiple extensions and/or individual "dynamic" entries.
Operating System(s): Windows XP Only. This utility will run on other OS's, but has not been verified to work. VB 6 Runtime library required (included in Windows XP).
