Can someone direct me where to go in order to set file types in Vista? I
know how it is done in XP through Windows Explorer. I just haven't found out
how to do it in Vista yet.

Thanks,

Thanks roy69. This is what I needed!

Windows Vista Help: Change which programs Windows uses by default:

Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Use this option to fine-tune default programs based on the file type or protocol. For example, you can have all .jpg image files open using a specific program, and .bmp image files open using a different program.

Pity you can't sort out icons (for particular programs) from the
same place.
