| 1423505 | 2016-07-22 05:47:00 | How do you unassociate a file extension in Windows 10. I used Unassoc in Vista & Win 7 but it dosent work in Win 10. |

| 1423506 | 2016-07-22 08:29:00 | OK theres more to this than posted :p You can change individual File Associations if you want. Do you want to open / change a file that's been changed to something else by mistake, or change all the File Associations back to defaults ? |

| 1423507 | 2016-07-22 09:00:00 | I was opening a rFactor2 file in notepad & forgot to take the tick out of the box. So now all the .rfcmp files have a notepad icon. Sim still works ok but I want to unissociate the files from notepad. Very annoying having to remember that tick every time you want to view or edit a game file. |

| 1423508 | 2016-07-22 10:32:00 | Right mouse on the rfactor file / open with choose another app, select Rfactor then tick it to make it the default | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1423509 | 2016-07-22 11:26:00 | Yeah that would work, but then all the files would have a rFactor icon. I want to unissociate them completely so they have no icon. I've been down this road before with win 7. |

| 1423510 | 2016-07-22 19:38:00 | Try the method described here superuser.com at the paragraph marked 26, it should work for any windows version. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 1423511 | 2016-07-22 23:12:00 | Thanks Terry that sounds like it may work. Just trying to get my old head round how to apply it to my issue without loosing access to the files. There are quite a number of them. I'll have a look at it later. |

| 1423512 | 2016-07-22 23:21:00 | Try resetting everything back to default and start again. Its quick and easy, full instructions default-file-type-associations-restore-windows-10-a.html (www.tenforums.com) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1423513 | 2016-07-23 03:01:00 | Thanks, had a look at that yesterday. The reset dosent fix it & the other three options don't help either. If only there was a win 10 version of Unassoc |
