    I used to be able to right click on an executable file and I'd have the choice of "Open" and "Open With ".
    The "Open With" is no longer in that menu. Can anyone tell me how to get that back in the list?
    I use XP Pro.
    Thanks in advance
    Floyd

    What would you like to Open a PROGRAM with?
    EXE files are programs that should open themselves;)

    The right click Open With will work with a file type like: .jpeg

    Your right Steve, Don't know what I was thinking. Open With is only there on data files as I guess it's suppose to be.
    Thanks
