All drives right click shows open with Ulead Photo Explorer - PCbanter

I have no clue what I did wrong but if I click on My computer and then right click on the hard drive or the dvd-rom or dvd-writer the list shows, Explore, open, open with Ulead Photo explorer, search etc.

Etc. The open with Ulead Photo explorer is the problem .

That should not be opening any of these. How do I change this so that the open with option can choose what program I want these to open with?

I also noticed where ever the windows part that allows you to choose to pick which program to view dvd or list to cd the the sliding arrow thing will be stuck and can not move up or down to get to the list of programs that can view or listen to dvd or cd. I have windows xp media center edition 2002 SP2

I'm going to try to teach you to edit the registry. People get too carried away with the dangers of manually editing the registry.

It is perfectly safe if you follow some basic rules. - Never delete unless you know that it's OK to. - Always export to the desktop so you can restore. You want to remove the "open with Ulead Photo explorer" command from the right-click of a drive.

You have to delete the registry entry that contains that command. Here's how to find it: 1.

Open the Run box and enter: regedit 2.

Click on "Edit" and then "Find". 3.

Enter: pex.exe 4.

Uncheck all boxes, except "Data". 5.

Click the "Find Next" button. 6.

You should stop on something like this: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Ulead\command] C:\Program Files\ .

. . \pex.exe 7. You want to EXPORT then delete the whole key that looks something like this: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Ulead] open with Ulead Photo explorer 8.

The effect is immediate No need to reboot. 9.

Right-click on a drive to confirm it's gone. If you make a mistake, just double-click or right-click and merge into the registry the backup you exported. If you need more help, please ask.

Good luck! ju.c "rosepetal" wrote in message ... Well it took me awhile you were mentioning the registry.

It is too easy, don't let it scare you. You can do it one of two ways. The first method is manually: 1.

Start the Registry Editor.

Open the Run box and enter: regedit 2.

Click the plus sign (+) next to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT". 3.

Scroll down to the folder named, "Folder". That folder is called a key.

That key would be called, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder". 4.

Click the arrow to expand it.

And the "shell" key, too. 5.

There it is, "Open with Ulead Photo Explorer".

You want to delete that whole key, so right-click on "Open with Ulead Photo Explorer" and select "Delete".

But, if you want to restore it later you'll have to "save" it before you delete it.

So, click the key then go to the Menu Bar at the top of the Registry Editor and select "File" then "Export". Choose to save on the Desktop so you can find it easily.

Now you can safely delete the key. The second method is with commands: 1.

Open the Run box and enter, one at a time: reg export "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Ulead Photo Explorer" "%UserProfile%\Desktop\Ulead.reg" reg delete "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Open with Ulead Photo Explorer" /f 2.
