757936 2009-03-19 22:00:00 Hi there!

When I've tried to open a file sent to me by email (gif or jpg) Pc told me to set associations in control panel. I have Vista with SP1 but even help search could not find where to do it.

Any ideas?

757938 2009-03-19 22:55:00 Or you can right click the file, open with, select application and tick "Use as Default Program" Blam (54)

Just for interest not all people want to change a filetype on a permanent basis.

I have several files on my box labelled *.dat which are video files and which work fine. I do not, in fact, tick the use as default option.
