I only tried one file (a txt file) and Open With appeared regardless of the
shift key...
So Kenny either has a real problem, or he's looking at files that don't
have an Open With entry. If there is such a thing...
As an experiment, I just looked at a weird file, xxx.baes (I have
completely forgotten what that's about, if I ever knew!). It has an "Open
With HxD" (that's a hex editor that I installed), but it has no generic
"Open with..." entry. Maybe that corroborates my guess. Also, the shift key
doesn't matter.
