    Please help me remove a leftover of an uninstalled app


    Please help me remove this leftover "item/registry junk" or whatever it is, from the "How do you want to open this file?" apps list. I uninstalled that software, but it is still in the list for opening my BDMV, M2TS, MPLS files. The wierd "leftover" just shows a location of an already uninstalled video player. I have marked the wierd phenomenon.

    Thank you.
    (I apologize, but I really dont know how else to explain. On another forum people had "problems" understanding longer sentences...I hope that will not be the case here too.)

    :)

    PLEASE HELP ME GET RID OF A WINDOWS APP!!

    I want to have my photos ALL go to photoshop elements 15, and some can; however, some are still hung up with that view slide show and I can't get at them to fit them into the book I am writing and need them for. When I scan them with my Canon Scanner
    they again get hung up, but I will work on that and see if I can wrest my scanner away from the VERY DESTRUCTIVE windows app.

    Hey Les. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps, under Photo Viewer choose Photoshop app you installed.

    This should cover it. If not let us know.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

    Please help me remove a leftover of an uninstalled app

    You want to delete this lot in the registry using regedit: Code: [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xxxxx] [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.xxxxx] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xxxxx] [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Roaming\OpenWith\FileExts\.xxxxx][/quote] Changing xxxxx for the file types (like BDMV, M2TS, MPLS) you are interested in.

    Ask in this thread if I'm not clear as it covers removing default associations: Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10 - Page 25 - Customization Tutorials

    Thank you so much! While I was searching the registry for the items you listed, I actually found the culprit!
    There is a ton of "mpc-be.xxxx" items that are from the old Kawaii Codec Pack Black, in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

    Oww lol! I just needed to reinstall Kawaii Codec Pack Black (KCP) and uncheck all file associations in its MPC-BE. I did that and it was gone, I didnt have to edit the registry.
