During a Windows 7 Backup, I backed up a lot of unwanted folders and files. Can I remove these (manually) from the backup file or do I need to delete the backup and run it again without the unwanted folders included? (which I'd rather not do incase the backup fails for some reason)

Yes, I could change the file association via Win GUI or use some third party tools. However I prefer to do this directly in Registry by a *.reg file (in Win 7 64bit). How can I set my editor "D:\tools\editor\myeditor22.exe" as default editor when double clicking on a file with *.txt extension...
