  • You can look up the file extension at http://filext.com/ and find out what kind of file it is and what program is needed to use the file.
  • omg that was totally helpful!!! thanx u whoever wrote thsi!!!
  • 4 some reason i can't find .exe and now i can't run any programs! does n e 1 know what it might b under! Thanks
  • 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.
  • 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
