i'm trying to disassociate .iso file type from any program (not just changing the default). i removed completely all references to it from the registry, but to no avail. when double-clicked, it still ask me to choose between a couple of programs to open it. i want it to present me the window that asks me to FIND a program for that file type, not select from a list. how to do that?
