How to Hide Open and Open as option

[vicentell]

Hi everyone

Is there anyway to hide or do not show the “open with” and “open” options on the program checkbox?
The one appears on the right click on your mouse

I found that from any program, let said mspaint you can open text files using the “open” or “open with” options I want to avoid that

I know there is a way changing a key on the registry but is not working I am looking for an alternative way to accomplish it.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command]

To disable the check box change the value of "(Default)" to "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1 %2".

To enable the checkbox change the value to "rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1".



Thanks in advance.

You could pass explorer.exe as the underlying object program; or define all instances you might see in Explorer for only allowed underlying object programs; or use Group Policy to allow only certain .EXE programs to be used; or strip the right-click contect menu of the Open with object verb:
