    "Open with" giving grief


    Just got back from a fresh install & am having issues with a file with an avs extention. (avisynth)

    I want it to 'play' media player & 'open' notepad. I've done it before but this time I can't figure it out.

    Both 'open' & 'play' do the same thing, opens media player & begins playing. That's half my issue solved.

    If I change 'open' using 'open with' to notepad then both 'open' & 'play' open notepad.

    Change 'play' with 'open with' back to media player & both 'open' & 'play' now go with media player.

    I want 'play' to use media player & 'open' to use notepad.

    Any ideas on how to separate them to open individual programs?

    Hello Ken,

    This may be able to be a good workaround for you for this.

    Open with Notepad - Add or Remove from Context Menu of Files

    Hope this helps,

    Excellent. Much easier than messing around trying to get 'open with' behaving. :)
