Add 'Open with...' to all file types

Add 'Open with...' to all file types:


Go to 
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell
Create a New -- Key and name it
openas
Under that, create a New -- Key and name it 
command
Double-click the Default value and enter this:
rundll32.exe shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1

When you use this, be sure to uncheck the box "Always 
use this program to open this type of file" in the 
Open With... dialog, unless you want to change 
the file association. Or use the next tip to 
uncheck it automatically. 
Note that if the file type isn't associated 
with anything, you'll have two 'open with...' commands. 
Doesn't work with WinMe; 'Open with' is 
built in to XP
