| Guest | Files open with - Program I accidently made a DLL file to be opened with a program now all DLL files show an icon for this program. Will this affect the operation of these files and if so how can I remove this association? I am using Vista Ultimate Thank you. pshoe |

The .DLL file extension is set to "Unknown application" as the current default by default in Vista. This mean that it is associated to nothing. You can fix your problem by unassociating the .DLL file extension. This tutorial will show you how. Unassociate File Extention Type Shawn | |||||||||||||||

Eample: I have a program "Audacity" and a DLL file which when I clicked on its properties there is a line that says open with and then a button beside it that says CHANGE, I accidently changed it to open with "Audacity" and it was checked to always use the selected program to ope this kind of file. Now all DLL files on my computer have the"Audacity" logo. The way I understand it the software you recomended only unassociates the DLL extension from the file and not the program that opens it. Is there some way to accomplish this? Thank you, pshoe | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

No, the program will remove the associated "Open With" program from the .DLL file extension. It will do what your wanting. Shawn | |||||||||||||||
