    programs - open with

    When you open a program using the [open with>choose program] from the right click menu, the open with dialog appears, with a list of programs installed. Can i use this program list in my program.

    I have a form which has 8 cmd buttons, each button loads a program from the path saved in the reg when i click it. The path of the program can be change on another form along with the caption of the button.

    At the moment i use the browse dialog to find the program i want, but i would like to make it easier by using the open with dialog or make my own dialog.

    How can i get this list of installed programs. Is it in the registry or something.
