Can anyone tell me where (in the registry?) windows produces the "Choose Program" option in open with context menus?

It's a combination of 2 places.
HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\fileExts , this handles the multiple choice stuff (i.e. you right click, goto open with, and it lists a number of application.
If you select "choose program", it looks through
HKCR\applications, and lists all the applications that have a "shell" sub branch.
( I think.....)
