I'm after a free utility which will eliminate the need to to "Right Click>Open with..." when I want to open the same file type in various applications in a short space of time.

Lets say if I double left click on a specific file extension it opens in dreamwever but if I double right click it opens in I.E.6.

Does anything like this exist?

Don't think you can get anything like that - can't you just use the open with once and set it to always open with that program ?

I know i did it once when opening Real player files via Media player but i can't remember how to Embarassed

Only other option would be to change the extension itself but i'm guessing that would prevent it working in it's host program .

Best thing to do...

Create shortcuts to the applications you want to use in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\SendTo
Obviously replacing USERNAME with the username you log into windows with. That folder is hidden by default, so you may need to unhide hidden folders.

Then, right click the file, click "send to", and select the application you want to use.
