How does one turn this...





into this?




Mainly, I'm wondering what it is in the Classes tree that tells windows to do the stupd crappy version, and how to mangle it so Windows doesn't do that any more. I always want the latter method of editing the file associations. How do I force that?

Thanks! Those look very useful. I shall try them.

Still very curious about what exactly it is in the system registry that controls one or the other kind of dialog box.
