Don't Like an Associated Program?

SUMMARY: Remove file to program associations in Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0.

When installing and uninstalling software on Windows 95 & NT 4.0 machines, you will probably notice files being associated with programs that have been since removed from the system, or programs that do not match the filetype. If you want to remove this association, run the Explorer by right-clicking the "Start" menu and choosing "Explore." Select the "View" menu, and choose "Options." Click on the "File Types" window on the dialog box that follows. Now, select the filetype whose association you wish to remove and click the "Remove" button.
