File type

[Doug]

Does anyone know if you can create a new file type to open programs in Vista?
I use Windows 2000 and XP and use could get to the file type in the windows
explorer, tools, folder options, file type tab.
In Vista going thru control panel, default progams, associate a file type or
protocol
with a program. Seems that microsoft left out a way to create a file type
