Ok, thanks for the confirmation.  I'll have to look into all the conditions
that affect this.  I never knew that the context menu opened with a
shift-right-click was different from the normal one.

There appears to be some confusion over this.  Actually, according to the
original message that Stephen wrote (see below), all he was asking if there
was a way to make the default setting for the "Always use this program to
open this file" option to be unchecked instead of checked.  I don't think
anyone has addressed this directly and I believe the answer is "no, there
is no way to change the default".  This is likely because the default
setting of the option is likely to be hard-coded into the program, not the
result of a registry setting.  It's possible that it may be able to be
changed, but I've never heard of a way.  Anyone else know anything about this?
