How can I remove file associations? I'd like some formats not to be displayed in a program right away even if there is a suitable application

In previous Windows version (i.e., XP and earlier) it was easier, now it's more complicated. But you can do it, two ways. Easier, with third-party software: download this and unpack. Run unassoc.exe, select file type from the list, and click on Remove association (user).
Still easy, but standalone: go to registry and find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT , then look out for the .extension you want to remove association with, and remove the (Default) value from here.
