Locking File Associations

If you have your file associations the way you want for a particular file type, you can remove it from the list that gets displayed in the Folder Options / File Types screen

  1. Start Regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  3. Scroll to the file association you want to lock.
  4. In the right panel, create a new Binary value
  5. Call it EditFlags
  6. Give it a value of 01 00 00 00
  7. Now when you go to the Folder Options / File Types screen, you won't see that file type listed.
