I don't recall how to populate the list on '98 (it's done automatically on
XP), but you can drag a shortcut from anything you want to the "Send To"
folder and use that instead of the "Open with......." function.  I always do
that with IrfanView, Metapad, and several other apps.

Hello again (Windows 98),

How does one add a program to the "Open With" window?

Specifically, I use both Lview and IrfanView for my graphics (for the group,
both are free and highly recommended). I put both exe files are in my
Program Files folder. My jpg's and gif's are configured to all open with
Lview.

For anyone interested, I do that by going to: My Computer, View, Folder
Options, File Types,  (highlight a graphics file), Edit, New, Action (open),
Application (browse to Lview, for example, which you had previously put into
your Program Files folder), click OK, Close.

As a result, I find Lview on the "Open With" list. However, IrfanView is not
on the list . how do I put it on that list? ... Harold

PS (an aside which belongs in Subject: "Formatting replies to the group")
... Just want to mention to Clint that here again, I have no problem typing
this posting (no Enter key necessary). It's the *threads* that often look
all skewed. That problem has not been solved. Maybe that is totally out of
the control of the person receiving and resending such threads ... Harold
