In known types, and in "application" I'm seeing a lot of  'vnd' types 
that have to to do Office apps.
that have types of;

spreadsheets
word processor
presenter

These are the file types that are coming up with DEAD application 
launchers, if I edit the file types 'vnd' and remove those
Three types as listed above I assume it will take those bad launchers 
out of the RIGHT click windows, is that so ??
