Is it possible to add an item here. For example: open with "NOTHING".

Because I want to force the users to open a document in this phase. Please do not ask why. And I want also a registry key or setting to control this to "NOTHING". And user may NOT CHANGE this setting.

Is it possible? If you ask why, the answer is; because want that feature to secure some settings. And we want also set all the settings via registry or json files. Can you also give instructions/manual about this?

Metin Baygül - Thanks for sharing the feedback.

Can you please elaborate more about your requirement.

Are you saying you need an additional option under Files open settings? (like "Teams/Desktop/Browser/"NOTHING")?
