You could try using "Send to" instead. This work PC has Win 98 and the sendto folder is c:\ windows\sendto - just create a shortcut to your required apps in there.

2000 style 'open with' in Win98

You know rt click in 2000 gives you an 'Open with...' menu?.

A few 98 progs seem to set things up like that too, eg while left click on .html opens Explorer as per usual file associations, with Office installed you can also right click and get an 'open with Word' option.

Is there a way to set up an 'open with xxxx' option in Win98 for any application?
