How to remove extension association using regedit.exe?

-1

Following my post here - Can't un-associate .css extension from Visual Stdio 2013

and the suggested solution - Why are certain default application associations "locked"?

What do I have to do in the regedit.exe in order to remove the .css association to Visual Studio and make it associate to Notepad++ instead ?

That what I have under - 

regedit.exe -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> FileExts > .css
