Hello there: I can't seem to find how I can add to this right click
dialogue. I want to open .avi files with a certain player (mplayer) but it
doesn't show up in the right click dialogue. I guess it's because it's an
app that doesn't install, just an .exe file that runs from command line.
Thanx in advance
brian
