hi rolfw when i do that it opens soft dvd and locks ?

OK, see if you can disassociate it with anything, mine says unknown association.

 

[rolfw]

Sorry, forget that, I think the route may be, Control panel, Folder options, File Types and see what it is associated with, you should be able to delete the association, I don't believe that the file needs to be associated with anything, it is not in my list.
