Somehow I've been thinking it was "HKEY_CURRENT_ROOT" for a while now. I guess I must have confused it with "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". I've corrected the post now. nekizalb on "(Solved) - File Type Association" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/file-type-association#post-30558 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 03:57:00 +0000 nekizalb 30558@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ excellent. It worked great. Only the key was HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.scr Thanks for your help. jd2066 on "(Solved) - File Type Association" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/file-type-association#post-30510 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:46:46 +0000 jd2066 30510@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ If you are ok with editing the registry go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.scr and set the default value to scrfile. You may then need to log out and log back in. That should restore the default assosication.

I figured out how to change it, I just couldn't figure out what to change it too. whs on "(Solved) - File Type Association" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/file-type-association#post-30330 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:23:27 +0000 whs 30330@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ Go to Default Programs (type DEF into the Start Search field and hit ENTER) > Associate a filetype or a protocol with a program > there you can change it. If you want to do it in the registry, this is the key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\ nekizalb on "(Solved) - File Type Association" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/file-type-association#post-30327 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 22:16:12 +0000 nekizalb 30327@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ When I installed AutoCAD, it created a filetype association for .scr. As the .scr extension is used for screensavers also, I would like to remove that association. Is there a way to remove that association and make .scr files open as screensavers again?
