Does anyone know why all of the .dat files on my computer have been
associated with Win Media Player? How do I get them back to not beeing
associated to anything? It's really annoying trying to update something with
a dat file but the media player keeps starting up.
 
Thanks for the info but that didn't work. I know it probably wont make a big
difference in anything I do on my computer anyway but it just bothers me that
I can't figure it out. I'm running Win XP Pro sp2 by the way. Thanks again
for the help.
 
Try this:

1) Launch Windows Explorer
2) Tools, Folder Options, File Types
3) Scroll down the list and look for DAT files
4) If it is there, delete it.
5) Click OK button
