Robert,
        The easiest way to change the associations of files is to use
winfile.  It will look and operate like windows explorer.  It is somewhat
buried in your windows directories so either use "find file" in the start
menu or run "winfile" from the start menu.  Once you are in winfile, just
find the file you want to change the association of, and change the
association.  The option is under the "File" menu.  I usually have the best
luck changing the association back to "none".  (I use this thing so often I
have put shortcut to winfile on my desktop).

Regards
Ryan Grant
