Quiky entry in Open With list

[Terry Pinnell]

After trying to add a new program QTLite (an alternative to QuickTime)
to the Open With list for an MOV, instead of QTlite appearing in the
list I have this strange entry:
http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=openwithproblem1nr9.jpg

(I tried using it but not surprisingly nothing obvious happened.)

Anyone

a) Have any idea how this came about?

b) Know how to get rid of it?
After some googling I found this link
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=258860
but the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Explorer\FileExts\.MOV\OpenWithList
doesn't have a Setup/Uninstall entry.

c) How to achieve my original aim of adding this program to the
OpenWith list?

Thanks.

Hi Terry,

Try:

Registering programs with the "Open With" dialog:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/openwithadd.htm

You can assign a friendly name using the tool. The icon comes from the executable.

Thanks Ramesh. Somehow, after fiddling in various ways and rebooting,
it happily vanished!
