-I am tired of this enormous waste of space; When I right-click a picture, I really don't want the list of editors to be just as wide as the monitor! Any way I can alter this exe's File Description, please?

Can I alter an exe's File Description?

Which OS?

Curt, look for the string in your registry under:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER-Software-Microsoft-Windows-ShellNoRoam-MUICache


Edit: Apparently, the path is different starting from Vista.

nosh,

On my Windows 7 machine that registry key only has two entries for DOpus - nothing else. I think there must be another key that holds that info. Though I normally use the file extensions list in DOpus to change the names of file associations - that drives me nuts too Curt!!

Yikes! That edit wasn’t there in your post when I first typed my post, nosh! I started the post, then searched my registry, then finished the post and you had already answered me - talk about efficiency!!

nosh:
Yep, have updated my post.
