Description: If an unknown file type is opened, windows starts web service dialog to find the associated application. This setting enables the user to go directly to the program list. The web service picks up the information about file name extensions, file types and the applications to use with them and provide the user the ability to open a file. The operating system has the ability to open the file type with the associated application or component. For this, go to start > run menu, enter regedit and navigate to the registry path listed below. You can create a dword value name nointernetopenwith, in the right panel, if this value does not exist. Now, right-click and modify its value to 1 which can disable web service. However, if you do not want to show the "open with.." dialog instantly, change the value data to 0 or delete the added value. The changes take effect after a restart or logoff.
