OpenWith.org answers the question, “How do I open this?”
As the family geek, I generally receive calls or get shuffled off to check a computer when I go and visit someone, and although I enjoy doing it, there are times when I wish I could put some of it on auto-pilot. Given that, I recently came across a new tool (Windows only) called OpenWith.org that will help just about anyone with the dreaded question, “How do I open this?”
Once the program is installed on the users computer, OpenWith will appear when you right-click on any icon, which will be nice for those without a default program. So, you have the un-associated icon, and when you right click you will can choose the option called “How do I open this?” and you will then be presented with a list of free programs that will work for you.
Sounds great, it will point the user to the program that they will need. Unfortunately, there is a catch, OpenWith is not able to automatically install these programs, which means there will be some work still left to do, but maybe, just maybe they will be able to follow an install once they know what they need to install.
OpenWith.org is a free program, but as I mentioned earlier it is for Windows only.
