It's there because according to microsoft's documentation, this registry key prevents windows from automatically making calibre the default handler for a file type. The documentation also explicitly states that it should not prevent the entry from appearing in the open with menu, see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...ell/fa-progids
Apparently your experience indicates that documentation is wrong. I added that registry key because sometimes windows would make calibre the default handler for one or more of the filetypes it registers for and then people would come here and yell at me, accusing me of taking over their filetypes associations. |

For what it's worth, I had a similar problem while setting up my new laptop last week. I used the Nirsoft app to resolve the issue.

It's hard to draw concrete conclusions about such a complex beast as the Windows registry when you only have a sample of one to work with. Were you able to replicate on your own Windows set-up, at all? |

given that most (all?) other applications dont set this key and I have found some other posts on the internet about it: https://superuser.com/questions/9819...dows-10/981989
I think I will have calibre stop setting it as well. The most I could replicate on my windows machine is that the key causes calibre to not show up in the initial list of programs to open with, but it can be manually selected. |
