How to disassociate file types on Windows 7

Question

Is there any way in which I can convert a string to list separated by spaces.The string has to be entered by the user. Suppose How are you today ? is the string entered by the user,I want to store it in a list say L, L=['How','are','you','today','?']. How can I do this??

Solution 1

There is a 3rd party utility to disassociate file types on Windows 7 and Vista.

• Download unassoc.zip
• Extract the contents to a folder and run the file unassoc.exe
• Select the file type (.bin) from the list
• Click "Remove file association (User)"

Here is the resource page.

Solution 2

Try this:

1. Press Win+R
2. Type cmd and press enter
3. In the command prompt type "assoc .bin= " (without quotes), be sure to press space after typing "=" and then press enter.

@pico, how would you use that command to associate something with a file extension? would you set a path to the program?

See assoc and also Ftype

Thanks, but I was looking for a real world example. Say I wanted to set an association for .mp3 to a specific audio program.

There is one on the Ftype page I linked above, just replace the references to perl with others appropriate to the situation, e.g. Moab.mp3 instead of PerlScript and your favorite player instead of perl.exe. The MP3 file type hasn't a general name, but rather one that is application specific e.g. VLC.mp3

I have no scripting or programming education, if I cannot see a real world example this advice does me no good, thanks for trying.

this is giving me folllowing error- ԀERROR: main/0: Undefined procedure: split_string/4 Exception: (7) split_string([97, 46, 98, 46, 99, 46, 100], [46], [], _G1077) ?

split_string works in SWI-Prolog version 7. instead ?- atomic_list_concat(L, ' ', 'How are you today ?').
