My solution was to download the freeware Open Expert from
http://www.baxbex.com and it worked perfectly.
The recent installation of the new Corel Paint Shop Pro X rearranged the
right click context menu. In Open Expert I could see the actual coding
for the path. Somehow an orphan reference to a very old Paint Shop Pro
in the registry had been picked up by the Corel installation. It was
that old it had ~ in the name listing( for e.g. Paint~) Oddly enough it
would open the still in place previous version 9 of this software.
Open Expert allows shuffling up or down of the items in the right
context open with menu.
Now my menu listing is tidy and in order.
I have saved the references given in these responses and I thank you.
