Question about 'How do I see my file associations?'

Like many other users out there, I've used the 'Open with..' option without unchecking 'Always use this program to open these files'. This has obviously created a file association that I'd rather not have.

This normally wouldn't be a problem, as I'd go to the File Types list, find the extension and delete it (which I've done a number of times). This time, however, the extension isn't in the File Types window; in fact, it's not even in the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT branch of the registry.

Can anyone tell me where it's gone, or at least how to kill the file association without uninstalling the offending program?
