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..?
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.
I tried and it only wants me to specify a program, I can't leave it unknown..
Default File Type Associations - Restore
This will allow you to restore the default registry entries and program associations for the Windows 7 file extension type of your choice.
CNF is a Telnet Configuration File. The only association it has it to Telnet.
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..
1) To remove a file type association, you can use a great utility found on winhelponline.com. It has a GUI.

2) I believe you can do it from the command prompt also with the "assoc" command. See this page for complete instructions.

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!
