Unfortunately, you need to edit the registry for removing file type associations. Or, use a tool such as:

I associated the wrong application to a certain filetype (I've put *.001
files to open with WinRAR). Now I want to remove this association, so
that the filetype 001 opens with nothing.

Anyone knows how to remove this association? I can only change the
association to other filetypes... but I don't want any application to
open it...

Thanks.
