Re: How do I unassociate files?

Well, this is pretty neat.

That looks just like *my* program that does a similar thing.

I have a stand-alone version called "XdN File Association".

The one I made doesn't remove the extension from the system completly. It
just removes the associations for the current user only, in case the
extension is associated with the wrong program accidently.

Hi I have the same problem with vista, i hate it, I tried so much
unassociated the file type and its impossible, but there is one way, its to
use the windows restore and i could unassociate the file, but i know that is
no so helpful when the association occurs many time ago.

Re: How do I unassociate files?

I know a program was posted already, but I made something a few months ago
specifically to help with this.

XdN File Association:
http://xenomorph.net/?page_id=492

If you accidently associate something with an extension, my program can
remove the association for the current user and return the file extension
back to the *system* default.

(A similar function is also part of my XdN Tweaker program.)
