1154999 2010-11-21 00:34:00 How do I remove programs from opening certain document types such as .doc and .cfg? QW. (15883)
1155000 2010-11-21 00:38:00 Rephase the question maybe? You don't want to open those files ever or do you want to change the program they open with?

If the latter normally just right click the file > open with > select the prog and tick always use this prog.

1155001 2010-11-21 00:45:00 I want to remove the program from opening up the file ie .doc.

Files with .pub are opened in Wordpad and I don't want it to open at all in wordpad.

1155002 2010-11-21 02:35:00 I'm assuming you are running Windows XP.
Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / File Types
There you should see the list of file types (.doc, .txt &etc) together with what application has been assigned as 'open with'. For example in my list .PUB is 'open with' Microsoft Office Publisher.
