OpenWith.org is a client program that connects to the service of the same name, in order to search for possibly related programs to open a given file extension.
Operation is very simple: just right-click with your mouse over a file to display the context menu, showing a new option: "OpenWith.org – How do I Open this?"
Most of times, the search results are enough, offering the user to choose from several alternatives. However, in some cases the program is unable to find a related application. If so, it offers to perform a search using any of the three bigger web search engines: Google, MSN or Yahoo.

Whenever you choose a program from the list, and such program is available on your system, just click on the Open button to view/edit the file. If you do not have the program in your system, OpenWith.org allows you to download that program.

The installation process of OpenWith.org itself is also very easy to perform. The program requires .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 or later to be installed in your system, if necessary, you are offered to download .NET Framework from within the OpenWith.org installation wizard.

Review summary

Pros

  • OpenWith.org is a great tool file to find out the programs that could open a file type
  • It saves time searching and finding the right programs to open a file
  • It’s able to download the listed programs

Cons

  • In some cases, after downloading and installing a specific program, if the installation needs some values to register it, OpenWith.org Desktop is unable to open the file. To make it work you need first to run the program then do the first time registration or just access on it, and the next time it can be opened from OpenWith.org Desktop Tool
