I set the default app to open the files with special file extension by mistake: the app could not open them at all for they're only file fragments (or, say, no app can until I combine them as one file).
So I want to clean the settings of default app (set no default app), but no solutions found. Any ideas? Hope for your answers!

Reset to default

It's free, and configurable per extension.

  • The app you mentioned sounds interesting. I tried it and set the default app to 'DoNothing', then uninstall it; then the default app is null, and no app will try to open the 'special' files. Nice solution, but not the best one. Thanks for your answer!

For changing default app (no option to clean the setting tho):

  1. If you don't have a file with that specific extension - create one.
  2. Right click on it -> get info.
  3. Set "Open with" and click "Change All" button right under it.

All files with that extension will now be opened by that app.

  • OMG. Then I could not clean the setting of default app? What sad story.

  • I have a question: where is the setting stored? a plist file? or not?

  • I guess so, but couldn't find the correct file atm. Anyway, IIRC preferences are now cached and I've seen some people having problems figuring out proper plist files for their needs :/
