Start, Run, Type: regedit

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1131426265-79857088-3472284960-1006\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts

Select the extension you want to modify, choose "OpenWithList" and delete
the value you want removed from the list of programs.

If you are unfamiliar with registry editing, it's best left to someone who
is. Mistakes can cause XP to fail.
