OpenWithView 1.0: Customize your "Open With" dialog box

OpenWithView 1.0 is a bite-size utility that allows you to easily disable/enable the applications in the Windows "open with" dialog box.

The "open with" dialog has its use, naturally. But the chances are that if you've installed a number of applications on your machine, the open with list has become a bit unruly. What are the odds that you will need to open a file with Google Earth, for example? OpenWithView helps you tidy up the list to make room for applications that you actually want to find in the "Open With" dialog.

OpenWithView runs as a simple executable. Upon startup it loads all the programs that currently show up when you choose the "Open With" option. Pressing F8 will disable a program or selection of programs; by "disabled" we mean that it will no longer show up on the "Open With" list. If you want any programs back on the list that were previously disabled, F7 is the button for you.

OpenWithView 1.0 is a free download, and works with Windows XP, 2003 Server, and Vista.
