Open with Context Menu Option Registry Hack Remember, once you’ve applied the hacks you want, you may have to log out of your account and log back in or exit and then restart explorer.exe for the change take effect. Double-click the one you want to use and click through the prompts.

Both hacks are included in the following ZIP file.

There is one hack to add the Open with option to the context menu and one hack to remove it, in case you decide you don’t want it after all. If you don’t feel like diving into the Registry yourself, we’ve created some downloadable registry hacks you can use. If not, try restarting explorer.exe or logging out and logging back in. The “Open with” option on the context menu should be available right away. Close the Registry Editor either by selecting “Exit” from the “File” menu or by clicking the “X” button in the upper-right corner of the window.
