This is a new tool for Windows Vista from me to try and correct another issue with the OSâ?¦ This one removes (incorrect) file extension associations.
Unlike previous versions of Windows..If you accidentally associate the wrong program to a certain file extension under Windows Vista, it does NOT let you remove that association (without opening up the Registry Editor, going to a certain key, deleting it, etc).
Vista will let you change the association from one program to something else, but not let you remove a program from the list.
For example, lets say you accidentally associate a SYS file with Notepad. Vista wonâ??t let you remove Notepad from the list of programs that opens a SYS file. You can change it to another program, but to what? Why can't you just remove all the associations from SYS?
This lets you easily remove the "customized" extensions for the current user.
With the customized file extension removed from the current userâ??s registry, the system default action for that extension returns.
I have added this to my XdN Tweaker as well, but I will also keep it as a stand-alone.
