Remove The “Use Web To Find Program To Open Unknown File Type"

Whenever you click on any unknown file format then what you get is the dialog box which gives you two options:

* Use the web service to find the appropriate program (to open that particular file format.)
* Select the program from a list.




Most Probably you will select the second option and find the appropriate program your list (the list contains those programs which are already installed in your computer.



To remove this

Open the registry editor(click Start > Run, type regedit, and press Enter)

Now in the left pane of the window browse to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Now in the right pane of the window create a 32-bit DWORD value:

* Name: NoInternetOpenWith
* Value: 1




No restart Required .
