| Windows Explorer - Tools/Folder Options/ (what happpened to /File Types?)
In earlier versions of Explorer we had Tools/Folder Options/File Types. Can't find the "File Types" in Vista. Anyone know where they've been put? Thanks -- Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!  |

Go to Control panel, Default programs, Associate a file type or protocol with a program. -- Paul "Fred B." wrote: > In earlier versions of Explorer we had Tools/Folder Options/File Types. > Can't find the "File Types" in Vista. > > Anyone know where they've been put? > > > Thanks > > -- > Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most! > |

Hi, The user interface and options have changed, but go to Control panel> Default Programs> Associate a file type... Some functions are also available from Default Programs> Set your default programs> etc. Hope this helps, Don [MS MVP- IE] "Fred B." <trash01NoSpam@mindvacant.com> wrote in message news:CF4E2919-C1BB-49EC-8039-4FECFA90DEB8@microsoft.com... > In earlier versions of Explorer we had Tools/Folder Options/File Types. > Can't find the "File Types" in Vista. > > Anyone know where they've been put? > > Thanks > > - - > Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most! |

Thanks ...... found it, but what I really wanted to do was change the "default icons" for several file types. When I went in there, I couldn't find that option. I know it sounds as little "dopey", but my sight's slightly impaired, and I used that method in XP for seeing a bit easier. -- Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most!

Hi Fred, Unfortunately, MS has dropped the "File Types" dialog in Vista. See this blog post (especially the Comments section) for more information: Shell Blog : Managing Defaults in Windows: http://shellrevealed.com/blogs/shell...n-Windows.aspx To change the default icon for a file class, you may need to edit the registry directly. Or you can use a third-party file type association tool to automate things.
