Could be a Windows 7 thing since it appears to work here.  It could also be that the checkbox under Windows 7 is a different ClassNN than under Windows XP.  It's "Button2" under XP.  Are you able to tell me what it is under Windows 7?  You can use the WindowSpy utility included with a standard AHK install.

I just checked with AU3info, and it looks like it's just "Button" in Windows 7 (I'm running the 64 bit version)

EDIT: and it is Instance 1 (there are four controls with a class of Button).

(the "Open With" menu is pretty basic - so, maybe it would be nice to add extra features.)

What do you have in mind, other than the hotkey?

EDIT: @nudone: OK I read your posts another few more times, you're not saying your Open With menu is full, just the initial context menu. I don't see an easy way to move Open With to the top of that menu, but that's not to say there isn't a way. Hmmm...

I'm still trying to get a fix on what this would look like (I don't think I am competent enough to code it, but I'm just trying to pin down requirements.) It's almost like you need an Open With 2 menu which only has your favorite Open Withs, and the only other requirement is a hotkey to go simulate the Context Menu key and then the shortcut key for Open With 2 (perhaps the '2' key).

In fact, before Open With, there was Send To, which you can access by going Start > Run > shell:sendto. Each shortcut creates a menu item which appears on the Send To menu for all file types.

But I'm guessing your SendTo menu looks like mine:



(Yes, I don't use half of this and probably do need to clean this up.)
