May 24, 2016 Resetting Windows Explorer. [HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows. Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Policies Explorer]. Thanks Gary, I've done the research now and here are the registry details. Open File Explorer to This PC [HKEY_CURRENT_USER SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion.
Registry Mechanic says that I have 28 of these that are incorrect or invalid: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer FileExts.INF,.txt,.reg,.zip,.wav,.LOG,.ini,.lnk,.gif,.png,.jpg,.chm,.htm.wri,.pdf,.doc,.xls,.rar,.dll,.ocx,.css,.js,.CHK,.cab,.xml.sit,.html,.bmp Should I just delete these?? Or, should I fix them??
If there a way to fix them with a.REG file rather than editing them one-at-at-time. Barb Mike M 20.12. Ecs Mcp68m M2 V1.0a Drivers on this page. 07 9:33.
Leave them as they are. These keys, or rather their sub-keys OpenWithList and OpenWithProgids include details of programs that you have configured to open these various file types using the right click OpenWith dialogue. What may have happened is that you at one time configured your system such that program A could open files of type B and have since deleted program A whilst leaving the data in the FileExt key for files of type B. If this really worries you then carefully remove by hand the unwanted entries using Regedit but I would not recommend the wholesale removal of these keys using Registry Mechanic or any other 'registry cleaner'.
