Solved Change Back To Unknown Application Type

[ShadyKid]

Hi, I accidently set a .xwm file type to open with Windows Media Player. I need it set as an unknown file type to open with its proper program. Any suggestions?

Right-click the files > Open With > Choose default program...

Right-click the files > Open With > Choose default program... > Browse

But it doesn't open directly with a program what I need to do is unassociate the file type from Windows Media Player

What you are saying makes no sense...

I need it to open with an unknown program so when I double click it the message box saying 'Choose a program from list of files/Search internet for the right program to open it with' will come up...

...:sarc:

You didn't even bother to do what I posted did you...otherwise it makes no sense why you need to deassociate it when you can associate with the program you want. Why would to program even care if the file is associated to another program in the first place? IT MAKES NO SENSE.

um yes I did but 'unknown program' didnt come up in the list of installed programs sorry..
because the program i want to open it with automatically searches for this file type and wont open it if its set to open with another program

Understand exactly what you want to do and why...have the same problem with XML files that are set to open with internet explorer when they are brush files.believe it has to be done thru the command prompt,still researching how,but you make perfect sense to me!
