Unable to set a default app - no "always use this app to open"

Thanks to Microsoft for making Windows 11 nearly impossible to set your favorite apps or programs to enjoy your own media like pictures, music, mp3's, podcasts, even text files.  You must use regedit to search registry for the "NoOpenWith" variable and delete this string within the appropriate context.  

For example, within these folders of the stated hive, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile

or 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg]

or

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppX43hnxtbyyps62jhe9sqpdzxn1790zetc]

A free markdown editor

So realized I needed a "ghostwriter."  Not that kind of ghostwriter.  So having most of my info-tech notations in text made me suddenly realize occasionally I will need a "markdown editor."  And "Ghostwriter" is a free "markdown editor."
