Right-click on file

When I right click on a file name, one of the choices is "open with".
When I click on a picture file I get some choices that I don't want because they don't even handle that kind of file.

How do I removed programs that show up as an option when I right click on a file.

Hope I've explained that well enough so that some one will know what I mean.


Thanks

Hi RQ,

I do not know of a way to remove a program from the "Open With" option.
Hopefully this will help you:

This tutorial will show you how to select what default program you want
to open the file extension. This way it will be in the "Open With".

This tutorial will show you how to unassociate a file extension to open
with nothing by default.
