Multiple instances of programs in "open with" menu?
Posted: Sun Mar 24, 2013 6:04 am
Hi all,
I've been meaning to post about this for a while but other stuff got in the way.
Basically, it looks like however many times I've EVER opened certain programs, it has left behind an instance of itself in the right-click> "open with">other application, list.
You can't see them all in this screenshot, but I currently have:
65 instances of Irfanview
34 Microsoft Office Access
and doubles of:
notepad
wordpad
2007 MS office component
brasero
fspot
winebrowser
Is there a way I can get to a file & cull out some of these- or stop it from happening in the first place? None of the programs listed behave badly- all work fine.
Mint 9, running on i7-930/1TB HDD/Radeon 5770, all updates to date.
