in regards to the open with listing
it is no longer a single registry
key having a listing of open-with
programs, although when one
right clicks on a file a listing
does appear.
instead the listing fluctuates
depending on the file extension.
you can see the registry
keys for the extensions
and their open-with sub keys
via regedit branch:

Where, in the registry, does one find entries for "Open With" right-click
sub-menu options.
Also, where are the entries for "Auto-Play" options when an optical disk is
inserted ?

Where, in the registry, does one find entries for "Open With" right-click
sub-menu options.
Also, where are the entries for "Auto-Play" options when an optical disk is
inserted ?
