Well this all started when i started using Mangos model editor today, but anyways here the problem.
When i double click a folder that contains warcraft related files like blp's mdx's mdl's etc...
The folder tries to be opened with Mangos model editor, and when i right click the folder to avoid this stupid problem i see this:
Open with War3ModelEditor
Open

So basically opening with the editor is how those folders with the warcraft related files attempt to open.
Also i deleted the program and that option is still there,
SO how do i get rid of this garbage?

Right Click -> Properties.
In the 'General' tab, click 'Change'.
Then find the program you want the type of file to be opened with, and select it.

Thanks for the reply, but i think you misunderstood.
Heres a picture so you can see what i meant.

As you can see its folders i'm having this problem with. When i double click a folder that contains somekind of warcraft file, War3ModelEditor tries to open the folder, obviously that can't work though.
So instead of just opening the folder through windows explorer like it should, it doesn't.
Get what i mean?

Go Start Menu > Run
type in: regedit
Hit Enter.
The Registry Editor will now pop up
> Collapse the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
> Collapse the * Folder (It is called *, should be the first one inside)
> Inside *, collapse the "Shell" or "Shellex" folder.
> Collapse ContextMenuHandlers inside Shell/Shellex
> There will now be multiple folders, you may recognise your TVersity one.

Now, find a Mango's folder or one that says "Open with War3ModelEditor" or similar, I won't know the exact name of it. Personally, I have ones called WinZip, NOD32 Context Shell Menu Extension etc... Mango should be there for you.

Now, just select the Mango folder and delete it.
Restart.
Done.

I tried looking for it in regedit like you said, but it was not listed in there, neither was tversity. ><

This is ridiculous....I downloaded the program and again, neither mango's editor or tversity appeared. ><

Edit: Fuck it, i just decided to system restore, thankfully i had a restore point from yesterday.
Thanks for all the posts, i learned some new things.

Can't remember the command, but it can be done manually. It's something like ftype, or like that.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
