Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / February 2007Open with?
I've seen menus with an option named Open with. As I recall, clicking it would get you the selection dialog to choose what to open that file with. I got an icon editor named IcoFx. At some point after installation it apparently hijacked the Open with line. Clicking it would "open" whatever in the editor. I uninstalled IcoFx, and clicking that line now gets the selection dialog, but the line on the menu still says Open with IcoFx. Can it be corrected? JimL -- Hi JimL, Reinstall IcoFX and launch the program From the Options menu, click Preferences Select Association, and deselect the following checkboxes: - Associate .ICO files with IcoFX - Add IcoFX to Windows Explorer's context menu Click OK, and then uninstall IcoFX  SignatureRegards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com I've seen menus with an option named Open with.
