Ramesh, thanks so much for your answers. However, once I deleted the
"Preview" menu, "Edit" menu item popped up. And there are no "Open" and
"Edit" keys, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\she ll
Where can I find this elusive "Edit" key in the registry? When I click Edit,
the image is opened in the Picture and Fax Viewer.
Thanks for your time.
