File Associations

I have a program that is associated with 2 file types; FLV and SWF, and I
want to remove the program from these file types. Obviously I can't remove
it from the associated files list directly (since there is no 'Delete' button
next to the 'Change program' button. The program in question is a portable
application, and therefore doesn't require installation.

I assume I would have to go into my registry to remove the file associations.
Where do I go to sever the program from these file types without corrupting
the registry?

Hello,

This tutorial can help show you how to unassociate these to have them
not associated with any program to opened by default.
