right click, choose open with, the program i need isn't listed so i browse find the program in program files and open..............but it isn't part of the open list? This works fine on other pc's in office, what the _____ is going on.


Anybody with any experince with something like this?

as in, it does not add itself to the open list?

if that is the case, you can try checking the box: always use this program to open files of this type' in the 'choose program...' menu.

true it doesn't add itself to the list, and i did try checking the box first and it still won't add the program to the open list.

Problem solved:
I uninstalled the specific program and re-installed it, and bingo the program was in my open with list.
