Default File Type Associations - Restore

Hi
I'm trying to help my daughter who has inadvertently associated windows to everything so can't open anything except WMC

Not sure if I can help as she's 2.5k miles away and can't open remote assistance or in fact anything but a heads up is most appreciated

Hello Richard, :)

In this case, it may be easier to do a system restore at boot using a restore point dated before she did this to quickly undo it.

Good day,

Could you please help. My ofx files opens up in adobe and it must be Windows Shell Common Dll. How do I change it back to Windows Shell Common Dll.

Thank you
Karmen

Hello Karmen, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

ofx files do not have an association by default in Windows. If you like, the .reg file below will unassociate ofx file for you.
