To remove programs from the openwith... list in windows 2000 you open the registry and navigate to the key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts". There you will find a list of extensions go to the extension where you want to alter the "openwith..." from and select "openWithList" (duh :-) ). You will find the list of programs for that extension and a string that's called "MRUList" this is the "Most Recently Used List" which lists the order of programs, so beware that if you change something that 1) this list still matches the rest and 2) the programs named a, b, c, and so on start with a and the rest remains sequential without gaps. It's a bit cryptic but if you see it you'll know what i mean.
