Oct 01, 2013 With Windows XP I could use the Control Panel to add a new file extension, associate it with a program, and assign an icon to it. I did that using Folder Options in the Control Panel. Folder Options has a tab in it called 'File Types'. But Windows 7 Folder Options does not have that tab. Jan 09, 2015 The Question.

This question already has an answer here:
Sep 08, 2009 By default Windows 7 does not have support for opening this file type and has no association. DivXPlayer is a good free program to install that does support playing this file extension. This download will set this file extension back to the default unassociated state in Windows 7. Mov - Movie file. The default program is Windows Media Player. 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. Q: How do I change file associations in Windows 7? A: File associations determine what programs automatically open specific file types on your computer. For example, in Windows 7, Microsoft Notepad opens.TXT files by default. If you prefer to use another program to open plain text files, you can change the file association. Each file in Windows, has an extension as part of its filename, such as.txt,.doc, etc.These extensions are used to identify the default program with which to open this file when you double-click on the file. You can set or change these file type associations in Windows 7. In Windows XP, this capability was available in Folder Options.However, it was removed from that location in Windows 7.

From a command window, you can use the 'ASSOC' and 'FTYPE' commands to add/edit/delete file type associations.
and:

So (on my system), regarding .bkr files, these commands return:
I created a new 'test' file extension/file type (may require admin permissions):
This opens 'Notepad' editing my 'dummy' file.
To delete the filetype association, first delete the connection of the filetype to the program like this:
Then delete the file extension association (may require admin permissions):

You can use this cool third-party application, Default Programs Editor:
Default Programs Editor makes it easy to fix file association settings in Windows, including context menu items, icons, and descriptions. Also: autoplay settings and default programs settings ...all without fiddling around in the registry.
