Hi, I'm copying data from cd's to my computer. The data
consists of book folders with numbered page files inside.
The files are actually tif files but they don't say tif.
I found this out buy right clicking on one & did "open
with". I chose kodak imaging & it opened. Unfortunately
I did not uncheck the always use this program yada yada.
Now all my files that end in 7 have the imaging icon &
because of the way these files were numbered to begin
with, the 7 has been dropped. Example, original files are
numbered like this 00806001.7 this would be page 17, book
806. Now all the pages that end in 7 look like this
00806001 with the imaging icon. The originals just had
the generic windows icon. Is there any way to undo this?
I read the earlier post about going into file types &
redirecting it to the correct program. Guess what? Under
properties these files say unknown application. Any help
would be appreciated.

From a command prompt;
assoc .7=
to remove any file type association from .7 extension.
