Best Answer

Open With is used to allow you to choose a different piece of software to open a file with. No software can open all files, but some files can be opened by more than one piece of software. If you do not have the main piece of software to open a file there may be another piece of software that you can use instead. All HTML files are text files, so as well as opening them with a choice of browsers from the Open With list, you could also open them with a text editor or word processor. So if you wanted to open the code of a page you had created, rather than view it in the browser, you could choose something like Notepad to open it with. You could choose to open a photo with different graphics applications you have or perhaps a spreadsheet with different spreadsheet applications. Without being able to select what to open a program with, your computer might not be able to open it, as the main software used to open a file may not be on your computer.
