File Type Associations | 137
The Registry
File Type Doctor saves changes automatically as you make
them. This makes it easy to test your context menus as you
go, but it also means that most changes cannot be easily
undone.
The Actions in right-click menu list on the right side shows all the context
menu items registered for the selected file type. Click New to add a new
item or click Edit (or double-click the item in the list) to modify the associated
application and its options.
You can also remove unwanted context menu items by highlighting them
here and clicking Remove. The list shows everything registered for the
selected file type, as well as the perceived type, explained in ???Expand the
Scope of Your File Types,??? later in this chapter. Shell extensions, explained
in the upcoming sidebar,???Fix Wonky Shell Extensions,??? are shown in italicized
font; these can be removed but not modified in the traditional sense.
The only items not shown in the Actions in right-click menu
list are those actions registered for the * file type discussed in
the ???Special File Type Keys??? sidebar, earlier in this chapter.
If you??™re trying to remove clutter from your context menus
and you don??™t see an item you??™re looking for, try selecting
the * (all files) entry at the very top of the list of file types.
