How to remove file association in windows 8?
- by Chesnokov Yuriy
I have Chrome associated with .xlsx file on windows 8.1 machine
In Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations it is not possible to remove association only to change it to another program.
In Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Default Programs\Set Program Associations , .xlsx is not present in Chrome.
I removed all keys from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.xlsx
Still Chrome remains associated with that extension in Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations, Windows Explorer shows the Chrome icon with the .xlsx file.
