Removing File Associations
Hullo,
Recently, as some of you guys may know, I bought a new Vista based PC with the Home Edition of Office 2007. Most unfortunately, this edition didn't come with a copy of Publisher, so, when I did transfer my files from my old PC to my new PC, I found myself with a set of ".pub" files which I couldn't open.
Today, I decided to perform a test upon some of these mentioned files, to see if Word had the capacity to use them. When I tried this, I just received a load of random symbols and letters, and the files didn't open correctly.
Most unfortunately, doing this lead to a few problems with file extensions - all ".pub" files now automatically, and by default, open in Word. In addition, there seems no way of removing the association without assigning it to an entirely different program.
So, to conclude I am trying to find a way of removing the file's association from any program whatsoever - simply restoring it to its former unknown and disassociated status.
All help appreciated, thanks!
