From a command window, you can use the 'ASSOC' and 'FTYPE' commands to add/edit/delete file type associations.

and:

So (on my system), regarding .bkr files, these commands return:

I created a new 'test' file extension/file type (may require admin permissions):

This opens 'Notepad' editing my 'dummy' file.

To delete the filetype association, first delete the connection of the filetype to the program like this:

Default File Type Associations Determine

Then delete the file extension association (may require admin permissions):

For a GUI solution, I use PowerTools by Creative Elements. You can download and use it for free for 45 days on trial. This is a collection of tools, and you'd be using their File Type Doctor tool to add/edit/delete file type associations.

You can remove the association in the registry:

And delete the key with the GUID that corresponds to WordPad.

You can use this cool third-party application, Default Programs Editor:

Default Programs Editor makes it easy to fix file association settings in Windows, including context menu items, icons, and descriptions. Also: autoplay settings and default programs settings ..all without fiddling around in the registry.

Then select Associate a file type or protocol with a program. You'll get a list with the associations currently configured in your computer. Find the extension you want to change and double-click it to change its configuration.

Right click a .cfg file -> Open with -> Choose Default program. Then check the 'Always use the selected program to open this kind of file' and select a program from the list or click the Browse button to manually select a program from the filesystem.

I don't know if somebody already resolved this problem but I just happened to figure this out.

Except you didn't read the title.

We don't want to know how to choose what program 'opens' .. (that's the only thing you CAN do in Win7.).. we want to know how to assign other actions..

Like edit, view, preview,

or add custom ones like

'edit in photothing'

'edit in mspaint'

edit in my finger painting app'..

etc..

Anything but open is difficult or impossible with Windows 0-- where once it was trivial.

MS is really dumming down and removing features as they put out new version -- AND raising prices..

If you look at everything you got in WinXP-Pro -- that's the equivalent of what they call Win7-Ultimate today. You go a level down and you are missing domain security (which I use at home), OR you lose media play ability -- both things XP had ..

But wait, for all these fewer features and greater cost -- you also get a 15-30% slowdown on all OS related functions!

Remember the good old dialup days when there was a 'lag' between when you pressed your keys and they were echoed (because they had to go to the remove site which did the echo?)----In Win7 you get that same feeling -- keys are lagged as they are shipped off to someplace for inspection..

Remember type-ahead? Win7 drops keys regularlly -- so can't rely on it..

And lets not forget several people's fav -- lack of home-network searching!.. Sure if you buy MS SErver and run it at home, you're set, but any other network drive.. they gave us the pooch.

And now they are blythely moving on to Win8?? Gawd .. I see how Vista users really felt like suckers. MS, what's wrong with you? Are you determined to kill the **personal computer**??

Leaving the above orignal content.

But I get updates on this and don't understand the whiner's upsets -- the question was answered BEFORE this follow up pose by Shawn Keene on July 13, 2011, The fact that my follow up got moved up under his was because others agreed with my 'grumblings'.

But Shawn points to the below (http://izt.name/apps/types/). So if you want to solve your problems, learn to read, as his answer was posted before my followup, AND is above mine in the reading order.
