How do I delete the "recomended List" file types

[Captain]

One for the tech heads...

I tried to open a DAT file using Notepad (I know... not very clever..) then removed any association using Windows Explorer/tools/folder options/ file type to remove the association, which worked fine.

Now if I open a DAT file and select the only "open" option and then selecting the "select the program from a list" and enter.. I get TWO Notepad icons in a "recommended List" .... how do I remove them???

I await inspiration

Probably something in the registry, if you can be bothered.

regedit awaits you, my friend.

Open regedit

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT=.dat=OpenWithList (note replace = with a backslash)

Delete the entery for notepad.
