Just go to regedit and look under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and remove the key with the extention you want removed.
Thought I'd post the following since I just went through a few heartattacks ... all exe files suddenly became associated with Notepad; couldn't restore (because it would call up notepad; couldn't call up my reg editor (because it would call up notepad); and when I downloaded any fixes ... all but one did the same.  The one that worked came from Winhelponline in the form of

The only problem I now have is re-associating the proper icons to my exe files; currently they all have Notepad icons.  Smiley

People apparently don't think it's spam.  I could go either way on it.  Spam button will come back later.
Maybe we should buy the spammers off with some Rohan gold? Smiley

I don't need a new machine, though. I just want to upgrade my existing machine to make it somewhat current. Somewhere along the line, I'll completely replace it with something new, but atm, I'm looking at adding a couple more years to my current investment.


I understand.  However, think of it this way:

1) within a few months, your upgrades will be obsolete;
2) within a few years, your upgrades will be unable to run the newest version of Windows and its apps
3) your current PC can be used to run your current programs and/or as part of your home theater/audio setup
4) your new system (which will probably be better than the current system with upgrades, unless you are sure you know what you are doing) can be upgraded in the future (if you want) when you have more $$$ rolling in.

If you are really into upgrading: 
processor (E6850 min)
2 gig Corsair RAM  (4 gig if you go Vista Ultimate)
8800 nVidia (min)....within 2 or 3 years, though, expect to have to upgrade to SLI

Hi,

   I just bought a new machine from:

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/

and while mine (E6850 3GHz, 4 gbytes, water-cooled, 8800 w/768mb, 2 hd 500 gig each, 2 dvd rw) ran close to $2300, they do have excellent Vista Ultimate ready systems for $1000 or less.  And they put it together for you.
