Found it. In Control Panel, instead of clicking “Programs and Features,” look for “Default Programs.” Intuitively you'd think both features would be in one place, but this is Microsoft.

Same here. I'm using 64-bit Vista Home edition.

this only works if the filetype is already associated, or recognized by the system, if it's not, you are shit out of luck unless you are a registry editing guru. Do yourself a favor, and ” UPGRADE ” to windows XP, or Linux, and wait for windows 7 to come out of beta. Vista == the New WinME

Don't know what version of Vista you are using, but in Control Panel, all I see is “Programs and Features” and their is no “Default Programs” option there.
