Firefox Extension: Right click does not give a open with command

Right click does not give a open with command
I have windows 7 Operating System whenever I want to open a file by right click the open with command is not been displayed. Don’t know actually how it happened. Sometime back I had installed MS .Net Framework 3SP1, also I had cleaned my registry by using ccleaner toolkit. Not sure why this option is not getting displayed and I have no idea how did it happen? I want open with command back as I am in need of it. Kindly help!

Since you have lost open with command (use to open file like .cmd, .bat, .exe, .swf, etc.) to display different programs to open a file kindly follow the following steps:
Step 1: Click on Start menu
Step 2: Click on All programs
Step 3: Click on accessories
Step 4: Open notepad application
Step 5: Copy and paste the following content
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Open With]
@="{09799AFB-AD67-11d1-ABCD-00C04FC30936}"
Step 6: Save the file as “OpenWith.reg” (including double quotes in it).
Step 7: Open the file from the location where you have saved it.
Step 8: Clicked Continue/OK/Yes
Step 9: Check if your problem is solved

When you had selected more than one file (by using Ctrl+Click) then it will not display you Open-With command. While you want to open multiple files by selecting multiple files at the same time using Open-With command then in Windows 7’s Open-With command does not appears. Open-With command works for a single file being selected. You need to right click on a single file and then you able to select the Open-With command.

re: Right click does not give a open with command
How can I get Open-With submenu to open my executable files? I want to open my executing files (say by using 7Zip or WinRAR) so that I can have a look inside archive. For that I require Open-With submenu to give me quick access to open the file with some program or the file manager. How can I be able to use quick access for executable files for my immediate access? Also, as I have some CMD files which I want to run but I am unable to run it as notepad comes up instead each time I want to open the CMD file.
