  1. Change "Open with" list items


    Hi! I have difficulties changing open with menu items. My current open with menu looks like that: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.zip\OpenWith List looks like that: Why doesnt windows respect My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.zip\OpenWith List ? For example VLC and Explorer are not listed there at all for zip. How do they appear? And gzdoom forexample is listed there but it does not appear in open with menu. My goal is to add gzdoom for zip files. How do I do it? If I use choose aaother app and check always open ... then it replaces 7zip. I dont want that. I still want to keep 7z as default choice, I just want to add gzdoom to that menu. I also found suggestion to look at \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications"ProgramName.exe"\SupportedTypes But that is also confusing for me because for example Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\7zFM.exe does not even have SupportedTypes but windows still knows what it can open.

    :)

  3. "Recent Items" list vs Opening a folder for Recent Items


    Change "Open with" list items :) Hello all... I am not understanding how MS elected removed the list of recent files and replaced it with opening a folder to see the recent files. That is now a 2 step process because you have to close the folder. I used the "recent items" a lot and I miss it - I'm sure others do ass well.
    The solutions offered here only are partial, they only add the link to the start menu / jump lists, but those still open an actual folder which then has to be closed. If you open multiple files, then you have to close multiple folders. Odd...
    I'm not a programmer - but I'm thinking (hoping!) that someone around here may be knowledgeable enough to find a way to return the actual "Recent Items" list, without opening a folder.
    I'm thinking I may not be alone on this one...
    Thank you!!

    Oblivion item list/spell list

    In this .zip are the oblivion item list and spell list. The spell list is rather complete, unlike some you may find. These are not my work, just a bit of copy/paste work.

    If you see more than one spell or item in the list, it's a leveled spell or item. As they go down in the list they get stronger.
