Option to the Right Click Context Menu How would you like to add the Open with... command to the right click context menu for all files in Windows Explorer for Win9x? I know, you can just hold down the Shift key and do the same thing, but where's the fun in that? Besides, it's an easy Registry tweak. (Note: Dont use this tweak if you use the Microsoft Office Toolbar. Thanks to Jim C. for the heads up.) Launch Regedit and drill down to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ Unknown\ shell\ openas\ command Note the (Default) string in the right pane. See the value C:\Windows \rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1? Double click on (Default) and hit CTRL+C to copy the entire command line to the clipboard. Click Cancel. Don't make any changes yet. Now go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\* and highlight the * (asterisk) key. Right-click the * and choose New Key. Name this new subkey shell. Right click the shell key and add a new subkey named openas. Right click openas and add another subkey named command. Double click the (Default) string in the right pane and hit CTRL+V to paste that command line you copied earlier. OK out of there and exit Regedit. Enjoy! Live Scrolling In Word97 Do you use Word97?

The data type is REG_SZ The default is disabled = 0 but you can change that to enabled = 1 Enjoy!
