Hi!
When I try to add a new program to the "Open with" windows. I can browse and choose my program but it doesn't appear in the list...

What should I do?

The application must create a key here [to register in the Open-With list]:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications]

If it is already present and not displayed in the list:

Create one there:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Programname.EXE\shell\open\command]
"Programname.exe <parameters>
