Anyone have an idea how I can add programs to Win 7 Explorer's right click 'Open with'?
I have 4 programs that deal with pdf docs and would love to have them all available within 'Open with'.

Re: How to add programs to 'Open with'
The following often works, but not always:
- Right-click the file.
- Select Open With > Choose Default Program...
- Click Browse...
- Navigate to and select the application that you want to add.
- Click Open.
- Clear the check box "Always use this program to open this kind of file" (unless you want to make it the default application for the file type).
- Click OK.
- Right-click the file.
- Select Open With > Choose Default Program...
- Click Browse...
- Navigate to and select the application that you want to add.
- Click Open.
- Clear the check box "Always use this program to open this kind of file" (unless you want to make it the default application for the file type).
- Click OK.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks for that Hans.
I was told that that wouldn't persist after a re-boot. But it does!
