I have a standalone version of IrfanView (x64) and want it to appear in the Open With menu for all image files. I do not want it to be the default program however. For some reason no matter what I do, it doesn't want to enter this list. It doesn't even appear in the 'more apps' menu after clicking Open With. Here are the things I tried (in no particular order):
- Opening the file with IrfanView
- Assigning IrfanView as the default application and then re-assigning the previous app
- Following the instructions here: Add items to the "Open with" list in Windows 8 (the relevant registry key already exists!)
- Downloading Default Programs Editor (it doesn't seem to have this option, and I don't want to add an "Edit with IrfanView" shell option)
- Following the instructions here: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/178066-open-add-program.html (the problem is that the site hosting the relevant app appears to be permanently down)
