Many centuries ago I once knew (due to the graciousness of a poster
in a forum such as this), a way to add the "open with" so it appears
any time you right click on a file. It's been so long since I've
need that info I've forgotten how to do it. Can anyone provide that
procedure - I'm thinking it was a registry edit but I just can't
remember.


Shift | Right Click will give you Open With in the context menu on a
case by case basis.

This site I found it with a Google search on "add open with right
click context menu" has a registry edit it says will add Open With
permanently. I haven't tried the hack so offer it as-is:

Didn't work for me, and the instructions couldn't be literally followed
regarding copying the value, although you can still do it.
Note: there is this statement in the registry tips contents page (
http://www.activewin.com/tips/reg/ ):
"Note: All the tips are labeled properly so that nothing will go wrong."
What a relief.
