    Can Snip & Sketch be removed from Open With context menus?


    Recently, I've noticed that whenever I want to open an image file (.jpg, .gif, .bmp, .png, .ico, ...) to edit it in one of my programs (not just to view it), and I use the Open With context menu command, where my various image editors are listed, Snip & Sketch is in the list of apps. I can't imagine why I'd want to open one of those with Snip & Sketch with its very limited editing ability, so I've looked in the registry at these file types in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\] to see whether I could eliminate it from the Open With list. Not there. Or, at least, not obviously there.

    Suggestions for eliminating it, short of uninstalling the program (which I use frequently for TenForums posts)?

    Odd - normally I'd have said Default Programs Editor (Free). However, as you say, SnS is in the OpenWith list for e.g. jpg, but is not one of the programs shown by it (for potential deletion).
