On Windows, when you right-click on any file, the " Open With " menu item appears which displays a menu for selecting the program with which to execute that file.
If you then press on " Default program " a menu opens to select a different program than the recommended ones, which is useful both when Windows makes a mistake, and if you intend to use a portable program that works without installation.
This option is essential both if you have unknown files that have not been associated with any program, and to open files with a different program than the default one that opens with a double click on the file.
Sometimes, however, no program is indicated and that window appears in which it is recommended to search for the suitable program on the Internet to open that type of file.
The free Windows OpenWith Enhanced tool replaces the standard menu with an improved window and more options.
After installing it, OpenWith Enhancer enables the new interface of choosing the Open With menu to replace the classic one.
The window is identical to the normal one only that there are some customization options and it is in English (for now it cannot be put in Italian).
The language should not however be a problem since it is a graphical selection where you just have to click the name of the program to open that file.
Below is the option to make that program the default for opening that type of file.
For example, if double-clicking on an Avi video file opens Windows Media Player, you can use Open With to choose to open all Avi video files with VLC or another media player.
OpenWith Enhancer displays the necessary and recommended programs to open that type of file .
In the list the programs installed on the computer are written in black and those recommended but not present in red.
If you click on one of the programs in red, which therefore are not present on the PC, you can go to the program's web page to eventually download and install it.
OpnWith Enhancer therefore becomes a great way to learn about new software and also to open unknown files .
The list of recommended programs is extracted from an online database; therefore internet connection is required to have this visualization.
Pressing the " more Details " link takes you to a page where more details are briefly given about the suggested programs.
The Browse button is used to choose a different program by selecting it from the computer.
If there are no suggestions and the list is empty you can press the link where it is written: look for the appropriate program in the Web to open the internet and start a search for the program based on that type of file.
On the same line at the bottom you can also remove any default association for that file ( remove this association ).
The program is compatible with all versions of the Windows operating system.
I believe that this OpenWith Enhancer, even if in English, is an absolutely recommended tool both for experts, who will appreciate the advice to discover new software, and for those less able to use the computer who have difficulty recognizing files and have no no idea what program they need to open a specific file type.
OpenWith Enhancer integrates into Windows and is therefore different from other tools to find the program to open an unknown file .
