I highly recommend this app and others on this site to all others who have spent countless hours and dollars browsing the apps available in certain computer books and publications, when half are Vista incompatible, and a program like this is a godsend for incredibly useful and necessary functions on Vista that unfortunately, if they can be found, you have to pay good dollar for when all you have to do here is download and it is incredibly easy to use. I can't believe it took me so long to find this site and apps, so save yourselves the time and give it a run. I really highly recommend it, and actually have noticed others apps on this site for some of the most obviously needed fixes in Vista that I could find nowhere, and I mean nowhere else after hours of browsing the web. So if you're like me, a guy who was looking for a fix to exactly this problem, only to come across some site where the admin. says he'll fix your dlls "if you.." just go here. Honestly. I'm bookmarking this site.

I can't run this program Also! Keeps telling me about administrative priviliges, which I have too like the above poster.........

Thanks! This was a very helpful tool, and may have saved me a possible reformat in a forthcoming moment of frustration :) Thanks again.

Simple and effective. This program does what should have been a integrated function in Vista. Very useful.

This is really a great program. I met a problem with the .lnk files, that all those type files didn't work any more. After solving as you said, it recovered. Thanks a lot!

Hello, This program works like a charm, You just type in .*insert extension here" and you can do everything you'd want to with the extension. I really wish this could've been included in Vista as it's well worthy of a place in vista. I'll be recommending it to everyone

THANKS A BILLION! It totally fixed my HTM and HTML extension problems!

Excellent. I'm not a computer guru by any stretch of the imagination, I was getting ticked because .pdf files wouldn't open from my email or other programs that were supposed to autolaunch Reader. Many thanks.

Yesssssssssss! Just what I was looking for.

Awesome! You've saved me quite a bit of frustration with this little tool.

Good site! A clean intelligent layout. Well done.

The tool worked great! Thanks so much!! However, Vista still remembers the program(s) that had been set as the default program. Is there a way to also remove the "recommended" programs from the "open with" selection within the context menu and also from the "opens with" section in the file properties window? Should I delete the file type (xps) from the computer entirely?

Yeeeepeeeeeeee! Thanks sew very much!

Thanks so much for this

Thanks for the work around

Thanks for this program

After hours (not willing to admit how many) I finally found your site and this nifty utility - 3 minutes later problem solved.

Thank you very much for writing this utility. I was stuck and it removed the file association quickly and with ease. Your time and skills are very much appreciated. Many thanks!!!!

This utility gives the same results of the DOS commands: assoc .= ftype = or not?

Really Works!! 100% Recommended

I am the admin on this PC, and I right-clicked and "Run Utility as Administrator", however for all file types the Remove File Associate (User) button remains grayed out.

button stiill grayed out. have admin rights too! Any help? I'm desperate!

brilliant! :D

thanks a lot for this software. My word xp was not working with vista and i could not open word documents and this did the trick. Thanks

It worked for me very well, Thank you.

Everytime i click on the download link (unassoc_1_3.zip under attachments) it brings me to this same page everytime.

Works great! Thanks for writing this app! Saved me a lot of headache.

Absolutely brilliant, this app has fixed in seconds what I've just spent over an hour trying to resolve. Thanks a million for this :)

I associated my sfv files to open with windows media player. i tried this program but when i select sfv files it doesn't allow me to "remove file association". The button is gray and unclickable. I'm pretty sure the sfv files are associated with windows media player because their icons have the windows media player icon. Help?

All I have to say is: HATS OFF! You solved my problem LITERALLY, in under 60 seconds. Good job!

Thank you sooooo Much ! :-))) This was a very small, but yet very very effective tool and i have been looking for something like this in a very very long time. !!

This program rocks!

I absolutely LOVE you!!!! Thank you so, so, so, so much for writing this program. Your skills helped all of us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Any chance you can patch this utility so it will work on Windows 7?

This program (and you!!) are a genius! Made everything easy, simple and clean. Thank you very much!!!

I am using windows7 and it says it's only compatible with Windows Vista. I am really hoping that you can also make it work with windows7.
