Could some kind soul out there tell me how to clear all the rubbish out
of the "Open With" dialog box.(not the context menu) It's still got
programs in there that I got rid of long ago. I've tried the registry
and searched the web for tips, couldn't find one...

I actually found out that HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications worked... I
found the application that was invalid on the Open With box and removed
it from there, and they are gone now.
