I have found a program i use which replaces Windows' OpenWith menu.
It is called OpenExpert and can be found at www.baxbex.com.
It has two sections on it, one which maps for all filetypes, and one which
maps
on a per-filetype basis. So you can set it up with favorite text editor say
to show on
all filetypes, and IE to show only for web page and image files, for
example.
