How do you revert a filetype back to unknown..?
Hi, I've accidently set another .cnf filetype to be known, as well. It's just so aggravating to see them have an icon as if they're good to open..how can I make them to open with nothing once again..?  | My System Specs |

I believe you have to remove or edit the file type association that ties that file type to a program. if you type "file type" or "change file type" in the search bar you should find the place to do it. | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop

Ohk. I've got .sav and .CNF I'd like to restore to unknown. The .CNF are in all my PS1 games and .sav are some saves. The .CNF I had done by mistake, as I checked Properties and hit Enter thinking it was to hit Ok and made it for Adobe Reader.. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Presario

I've just subscribed to this thread in the hope that i will learn what it is all about. Anyone help me understand what "how can I make them to open with nothing once again" means. I'm a bit lost here!

You know when you try to open a file that Windows doesn't recognize, it asks you how you would like to open it by bringing up a list of programs to choose from? Well, OP would like to restore the file's behavior to that, right now it opens up with Adobe. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built
