If you accidentally associate a particular file extension with the wrong application,
don't try to fix it with Windows Explorer's File Types tab in the Folder Options
dialog box--there's no way to remove a single extension from a registered file type
without deleting the entire entry and starting over. Instead, use Windows 98's version
of the Windows 3.x File Manager, which you can launch from the Run dialog box by
typing winfile and pressing [Enter].
Once File Manager opens, choose File | Associate. When the Associate dialog box appears,
type the extension that you want to get rid of in the Files With Extension text box.
When you do, you'll see the errant file association appear in the Associate With
text box. To remove the file association, scroll to the top of the list of file types,
select (None), and then click OK.
