The way to change associations (it doesn't seem to let you remove though) with built-in Windows 7 tools (UI ones) is to open the Start Menu, then choose Default Programs. (Or if it's not present, open Start Menu, Control Panel (you might need to change from View by category to View by large icons) and then Default Programs.)

Then select Associate a file type or protocol with a program. You'll get a list with the associations currently configured in your computer. Find the extension you want to change and double-click it to change its configuration.
