I need to remove a program in the Open with list (I need to replace a custom program with a newer version and I don't remember where the .exe
file is).
How would I be able to find the location of this program on my computer?
For some reason I cannot find it with application name, even when searching all .exe
file. There is no installer for the program, it's just an .exe
you put where you want.

The "Open With…" list is stored in the registry in two separate keys. One key stores the list of applications to use for a particular file extension and the other stores the location of a particular application.
You can either look them up in
regedit.exe
(which I don't suggest as you could accidentally make a change to the registry) or you can query them from the command line:I've written a very short batch file to do most of the legwork:
