QuickTime 7 Adds a %1 to Open With Menu Windows 8.1

The %1 is on .png, .jpg, .bmp .psd photo file types so most photo file types in Windows 8.1 open with list with the exception of .gif file type that has a correct QuickTime photo viewer icon and label.
Uninstalling QuickTime 7 makes that %1 go away.

I also had this problem recently, the solution works but when you reinstall QuickTime, it still comes back.

  • How can I make Quicktime Player 7 appear in the "Open With" menu?

    Well, the subject says it all, I think.
    I have installed SL, and now I want Quicktime Player 7 to appear in the right-click menu "Open With".
    I have tried to rebuild the launch services database like this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    But to no avail.

    I got curious and checked a couple of things with right click. Some items show QT7 as an option, some don't. One .mov file that didn't had as the default ( ! ) something called "QuickTime Player Launcher" so I went ahead and used that to see what would happen, and QT7 did indeed launch and play the movie. Yet another .mov file that showed "QT Player Launcher" and no QT7 turned out to open in QTX. The first one was made in Leopard, the second was made in Snow Leopard using QTX screen capture. Other older .mov files with the "QT Player Launcher" default open in QTX. I remain baffled by a LOT of the behavior with QT7 and QTX.

  • Can you add Programs to Open With Menu

    Is there a way to add programs to the Open With Menu.  For example, when you right click on a file you can choose to open it with the default application by selecting Open, or choose other programs to open it with by selecting Open With.  Only a few of the programs that can open the files are listed.  Is there a way to add programs that I use to list in that list.  Right now, everytime I want to open something in a program that is not listed I have to go to Other... and find it in the Application folder.  Which is not too convenient.  Many programs that I use to open files are not listed for many types of file types, I open them frequently using the Open... window, and I was hoping that Mac would learn to add them, but it did not. 
    For example, I have VMWare with Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2010 in it, my default application for WORD documents is Word for Mac 2011, but occasionally I need to open it in Word 2010 in Windows (Certain features that are missing in Mac Word), and I have to browse to fin the Word 2010 Application from the Application Folder.  Another example is a program (from the App Store) called ResizeIt (which resizes photos), I have to browse for it everytime even though it is an application just for images.
    So, is there a way to edit the Open With Menu for specific file types to include these programs that I use, or do I have to keep browsing to the Application folder and finding it there?
    Thank you in advance!!

  • Same application showing multiple times (multiple versions?) in Open With menu

    Hello, this has been bugging me for a while, and I hope someone has a clue as to why it is this way.
    I know VLC is not Apple software, but my question is not about the player but the Open With menu/window.
    As you can see in the photo, when I choose a file to Open With a series of applications, I get more "versions" of VLC I don't know why only VLC and not the others.
    I have the 2.0.6 version if it can be of any help, and before my latest update I only had 3 in that menu, now I have 4 VLC's so to speak.
    Even before that, before previous updates, I had 2 VLC's in the Open With menu.
    It looks like with every update I get some sort of duplicate, in this menu...I don't know why and why only with VLC.
    I do not have multiple copies of the program, nor multiple versions.
    There is just one and that is the latest version, 'cause older ones get automatically replaced in the Applications folder once the new one is installed.
    Why do I only see 1 VLC in the Applications folder, Launchpad, and anywhere else, but I see multiple ones in the Open With menu?
    Anyone have an idea?
    Should I delete something somewhere maybe leftovers of previous versions or something?
    I don't want a huge list, at some point.
    Thank you!

    You need to rebuild your launch services database.
    Open a terminal window (it's in utilities).
    Copy and paste this line in terminal:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    and hit return.
    Then relaunch Finder (control-option-click the Finder icon in the dock).

  • Help. Need to remove one of the listed QuickTimes from the "open with" menu

    When I bring up the 'Open with' menu on an audio file I have QuickTime Player (7.3.1) and just below that I have QuickTime Player (7.2.1). I would like to remove the 7.2.1 listing from this menu. There is on one version on my computer (7.3.1). The last update must have placed the newer listing in this menu and left the older listing. Is there a way to remove the older listing from the open with menu?

    Did you ever do an archival and install of your OS? If so, you have what is called previous system fold on your main hard drive. This is where you can find the player to the version. If not I guess what happen to you is strange...mmm... And I guess it could happen.

  • Can't add Lightroom 4.4 to "open with" menu

    Since the recent 4.4 update I can't add Lightroom 4.4 to the Windows 7 right click "open with" menu. When I try to add Lightroom.exe to the menu it simply doesn't get added.

    It looks like the file association is broken for Lightroom because of which you are getting this issue.
    There could be a Windows Registry tweak for this but Uninstall and Re-install Lightroom should be easy and safe fix.

  • Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

    Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up

    Hi konee,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do we add apps to the 'Open With' contextual menu?

    After I updated to Mavericks, all of the apps, except the Apple ones, were blown away (eg. Word and Excel in my VM). 
    How do I put them back?

    'Open With > Other' would not show the apps in my VM.  I tried.
    I tried something different.  I left Word open in my Parallels (Vista) VM and ignored it for a while to see if Maverics would pick it up eventually.
    It did.
    It seems like that it takes some time for Maverics to find the apps in a VM before we can use it in the 'Open With' menu.

  • Help. Need to remove item from the "open with" menu

    Does anyone know how I can remove an item from the "open with" menu?

    You could try removing the quicktime .pkg files from the receipts folder in the root library.
    The system has to go somewhere to determine eligible applications it can use to open a file.
    Each application would contain its base settings in its receipts file.
    Once you delete the receipt you should delete the application and reinstall it.
    The reinstall will write a new receipts file.
    The receipts file is used by your system when it repairs disk permissions.
    The system does not just add a setting.
    For example if you take a .png file and click on it and look at what can open it you may get a long list.
    If you choose "other" from the get info "open with" menu and have acrobat reader installed in applications, it will show as an application you can choose.
    That application, however, is not in the drop down list.
    If you choose acrobat reader and apply it to the file type, it will show as the default.
    If you then choose another application in the list and apply, Acrobat Reader disappears from the list.
    The system only shows files in the list that advertise to the system that they can read the file type.
    You have a system which is populating the list with legitimate programs that are compatible with the advertised file type.
    It is reading that advertisement for the quicktime application somewhere.
    The configuration is written to each file individually, you can choose to have a single file associated with a particular application or have it apply to all files of that type.
    Check in Spotlight for a copy of the application in another location.

  • Adding and deleting applications in Bridge "Open With" menu

    How do you add or remove applications from the context sensitive open with menu in Bridge CS4?  Just to make sure everyone knows exactly which menu I am talking about,here is an example, right click a .bmp thumbnail image in bridge cs4, go to the "Open With" menu and select which application you want the image opened up in. I would like to add Photoshop cs4 to this menu and am unable to determine exactly how this is accomplished. Any and all help greatly associated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Thanks in advance                                                                                                                                                                                                    Rick

    Have you visited the preferences/file type associations and set the default for bmp to CS4?
    If that does not fix it you will have to go into the OS and set that up as an option.

  • "open with" menu, QT entry is duplicated...

    hi!
    i have the following problem with the "open with" menu:
    this occurs only with quicktime and .flv, .wmv, .divx and .asf files.
    i´ve tryed following terminal command
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
    LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister \ -kill -f -r -domain local
    -domain system -domain user
    without success.

    OK, got you on the "Default".
    Well, you tried LaunchServices and now, we've tried what usually works for duplicate items in "Save As" or "Open with" dialog. Why don't you create a new account, name it "test" and see how your "open with" works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.
    EDIT: Actually, I'm a bit surprised that LaunchServices command did not clear it up.
    Did you restart or log out after the command ran?

  • Modifying the "open with" menu

    I find this hard to believe, but iPhoto is not in the right click "open with" menu for jpg files. I know I can go file by file and add this, but it would take months.
    How can I tell leopard to add iPhoto to the list of open with apps for all jpg and jpg files?

    I suppose that will work. I just have to leave iPhoto in the dock. Thanks for the answer.
    But . . . all the apps in the "open with" for files are not viewers. A lot of them are apps. So I question the logic. But happy to have a solution. Thanks.
