Windows 10: Win 10 Home Remove filetype program associations

There are several filetypes which I do NOT want associated with ANY specific application. How do I do this? I have read several items which proport to explain how to do this but none of them are accurate so a detailed step-by-step example would be useful. E.G., remove Photoshop from association with .jpg, .jpeg, and .tif filetypes and not replace it with anything.

N95 Filetype association?

Hello everyone,

I'm having N95 V11.2.009 and got one question for you. How can i associate file types in N95?

For example, i have few .avi and .flv files on my N95 memory card and i would like associate .avi with Smartmovie player and .flv with emTube so that if i select any of these filetypes in File Manager then they directly open with their associated programs and
not throw the error "Unable to open. File type not supported".

Thanks & Regards,

Vasu

 

Can a file extension(.flv) be added to Default Program Associations.

Hi Fred,



Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.



I understand that you are facing issues associating a particular file extension with a program on Windows 10. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

To assist you better, please provide the information:

When you say that "Default Program Associations", are you referring to the list of default applications in default programs settings?



I want you to be informed that all the file extensions is listed in the default program settings which is displayed under
Associate a file type or protocol with a program.



In default program list, all the programs or application will be listed. Then we can select each program as default program for opening a particular file.

I suggest you to refer to the below steps to make default program for a particular file extension.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Default Programs and click on Choose Default for this Programs.

4. Select .flv file from the list.

Also you can try other steps to associate the a particular extenstion with the program.

1. Type "Control Panel" without the quotes in search box and click on it.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Then click on Associate a file type or protocol with a program
and search for .flv extension from the list.

4. Click on .flv and then click on Change Program.

Opening files from File Explorer and File Association not working

Hi, I'm having some problems with opening some filetypes in File Explorer. There are a few different cases which has made it hard to narrow down exactly where my problem is, and my Google-fu is failing me.

If a filetype is not associated with any program, double clicking or "right click > open " either doesn't do anything, or comes up with a message telling me to associate a program with the file. If I go into "control panel > default programs > associate
a file type... " and then find the filetype and click on "change program", no window pops up to let me select a program.

In addition to the unassociated files not working, with files with a known association, double clicking only works if their is only one program associated with the filetype. If there are multiple programs, it will not choose the default program but will
do nothing, I must choose a program from the open with context menu manually to open them. Additionally, the "open with > choose another app" button does nothing.

If anyone has any suggestions to fix the whole thing or any individual part, thanks in advance.

Cheers, Michael.
