How can I remove ALL the programs a filetype opens with?, So that the filetype opens with nothing

So that the filetype opens with nothing

Monday, February 18, 2008 by arlab | Discussion: Windows Vista

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.

I would think you would go into Control Panel - Folder Options - File types and remove 001 as a registered file type. That should remove the association.

Then, reboot. The computer should ask you what program it is supposed to associate with the file and when you don't choose one ... it won't open.

If you don't have any application opening it, however, how do you expect it to open at all?? When you say "so that the filetype 001 opens with nothing" ... what do you mean exactly??
