Open with?

I've seen menus with an option named Open with. As I recall, clicking it
would get you the selection dialog to choose what to open that file with.

I got an icon editor named IcoFx. At some point after installation it
apparently hijacked the Open with line. Clicking it would "open" whatever
in the editor.

I uninstalled IcoFx, and clicking that line now gets the selection dialog,
but the line on the menu still says Open with IcoFx. Can it be corrected?

Hi JimL,

Reinstall IcoFX and launch the program
From the Options menu, click Preferences
Select Association, and deselect the following checkboxes:

- Associate .ICO files with IcoFX
- Add IcoFX to Windows Explorer's context menu

Click OK, and then uninstall IcoFX
