Substitute the 'Open with' option of the contextual menu.
In the
Windows operating system each file with a known extension is associated, per default, to an
application. This is very useful in the majority of occasions, but we sometimes want to
choose what program we want to open a file with.
When it comes to launching a file we can
choose which application to do it with from the "Open with" option of the Windows Explorer contextual menu, or better still: using
OpenExpert.
OpenExpert is a practical application that substitutes the "
Open with" tool from the contextual menu, by replacing it with a more powerful, versatile and accessible utility. Thus, you will be able to
add all the applications that you want to associate to an extension and even configure the launching parameters.
The application allows us to totally
customize this interesting
menu by adding all our favorite applications and even different versions of the same program. So that when we want to open a file, it is a lot easier to choose the application that we want to use.
Note: This application is
free for personal use. It only works with Windows XP or earlier systems.
