    Remove uninstalled programs from Default Programs menu


    Hi first post.

    I installed ImageGlass a while back and realized it was useless after I got Windows Photo Viewer to work via regedit. So then, i uninstalled ImageGlass and went on to use Window Photo Viewer. When I try to set Windows Photo Viewer as my default Photos app, not only is it not there but ImageGlass still shows up as an option.

    The same thing happens on the Open With menu in the file explorer

    Is there a way to remove ImageGlass as a option for a default program? I already have it uninstalled and the fact that it is still showing up is not right.

    Hi @Haruna welcome to tenforums! :)

    Image Glass leaves a lot of 'junk' behind after uninstall!

    You may need to delete certain registry keys for certain file associations under ImageGlass

    See highlighted regions in screenshot...
