How To Set or Change File Associations in Windows Vista ! |

| Each file in your Windows OS, has an extension in its filename eg. .txt, .doc, etc. These extensions are used to identify the program, with which to open this file. You can set or change these file type associations in your Windows Vista. In XP you had it in Folder Options. In Vista you don't see it, though ! |
| |
| To set File Associations in Windows Vista, Open Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations. Select a file type in the list and click Change Program. |
| |
|
| |
| You will be displayed a list of Programs along with a Description and the Current Default. You can click on the Change program to set or change the current defaults. |
|
| Alternatively, you can also Right click the file whose association you want to change > Properties > General tab > Type Of File > Change > Choose a program from the list or recommended or other programs or else click Browse to select one. |
|
| You can also do so easily with a freeware called. Types. Types is a free and lightweight configuration utility for Windows Vista that allows you to edit program associations, icons, context menus and other properties of various file types displayed in Windows Explorer. |
