  1. Opening Programs


    Starting about two weeks ago, most of the programs on my desktop are listed on google when I try to open them. I find the program on Google and left-click on it and it opens. However, if there is no more room in Google to list a particular program, that program will not open at all. Is there anything I can do to change this behavior so that the programs open directly?

    :)

    Please give steps to open the paths to Program Files

    If you want to open File Explorer to your C: drive without any registry tweaks, you'll need to do so from a shortcut you create.

    1. Open File Explorer to This PC.
    2. Right-click Winndows (COpening Programs :) and select Create Shortcut:

    3. Clock OK in the altert dialog:

  4. Opening Programs

    Context Menu - Open With (Windows Suggested List)

    OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 22H2
    Diagram 'A' shows Windows' suggested programs
    Diagram 'B' shows the extended list

    I have been trying to edit the context menu's "Open with" list of Windows' suggested programs for the .mp3 extension.
    I'm not talking about the extended list, but rather the programs that first appear 'before' the "choose another app" option.
    If you look at Diagram 'A' you will see the preliminary list generated by Windows, this is the list I am looking to modify.
    I have an .mp3 editor named Goldwave that I use for editing audio files, however, I do not want to change the preliminary program Windows uses to open .mp3s. My .mp3s should remain assigned to Winamp Player.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
