Question Vista - Opening multiple files

Anyone sussed how to do this in registry or another way in Vista?

So you right click 1 file and you get the open with context menu.

I need to do the above but with multiple files.

So I have a batch of jpgs I want to open in Photoshop for example.

As soon as you select multiple files the openwith menu vanishes.

In XP it was easy you just used the /DDE flag :/

nm drag n drop works either to the app or to a shortcut to the app.

Not ideal but does the job.

He shoots, he scores! I knew it worked with stuff like Wordpad, but some apps can be "difficult". Happy to help.
