How to Open A File With Nothing?

[Themanhunt]

Hello. I was compiling a game the other day into an un-reconigized file type. I needed to change the extension to something else, but accidently made it open with Firefox as default.

I want to be able to change the file extension and make it not open with firefox again.

Help?

Change the file extension to something nonsensical like .abc.

I can't :s - it only makes it the name of the file and not the extension as it is now recognized by a program...

did you change windows explorer's file options to show extensions?

You have "renamed" it to example.htm.abc (htm is for example). Change the Extension from right clicking over it (while holding shift)> open with> choose default program> then browse for the exe in program files installed (which you want and if its not in the list).

Hope it helps.

Open windows explorer. Then click on "Organize" at the top=>Folder Options=>View tab. Uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types".
