| | File Associations I have a program that is associated with 2 file types; FLV and SWF, and I want to remove the program from these file types. Obviously I can't remove it from the associated files list directly (since there is no 'Delete' button next to the 'Change program' button. The program in question is a portable application, and therefore doesn't require installation. I assume I would have to go into my registry to remove the file associations. Where do I go to sever the program from these file types without corrupting the registry? -- Message posted via http://www.windowskb.com |
