I have a series of files used to control machinery. The files are of the format xxx.dup. for some reason, Adobe reader thinks that they are pdf files and marks them as such. How can I stop this marking?

    No, that is not what I want. I do not want the files identified with any program. All I want to do is download the files and put them on a USB stick. They are then loaded into my aircraft's instrumentation. I have been having loading problems that could be caused by the files being identified as Adobe type files. In my File Explorer, a small Adobe Reader icon appears before the file title.

    Can you help me to remove an association with any App?


    The fact that a file is associated with any application (or not) doesn't

    change its actual contents.

    Right-click a file while holding down Shift and select Open With, select

    the application you want to use and tick the box to always use it for that

    file-type.
