| 1250572 | 2011-12-25 10:02:00 | Click on the "Start" orb at bottom left Type "file ass" in the search box You should see three options at the top of the list that appears Select "Make a file type always open in a specific application" Otherwise select "Change the file type associated with a file extension" and you will see the whole list of extensions and associations. If that doesn't answer your question please come back with more detail and what you want to change. You shouldn't 'remove' or change .cfg file extensions. I was assuming you don't want them to open with Notepad, but what alternative should Win 7 do when you click on that type of file? |
