Not sure if too different in vista, but in a normal folder view in XP, if 
you go to the tools menu, and hit enter on folder options, there's a file 
types tab in that dialogue, and if you give it a little bit of time to 
populate the list, you can make changes to it's behaviour for handling 
certain types of files there.

I do normally just use the open with dialogue since it seems on XP to sort 
of group the sets of apps, with the ones it's trying to recommend above, but 
when you arrow down more you find something like other applications, and I 
normally try using something like the first letter of the apps name, then 
tab over to always use checkbox, hit space on it, tab over to ok button etc. 
etc.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] changing which program opens a file.


Hi
     I have a trouble. I am trying to change which program opens my MP3 
files. So, I select a mp3 file press the application key and press enter on 
the open with selection. I am given three options, adobe, internet explorer, 
and one equally irrelevant option. I can navigate to a list of all the 
programs on my computer but in the end the computer only allows me to choose 
between the three in the original list. How do I get more programs in this 
list. is there some setting in vista home addition that will allow me to 
have all programs in this list?
     I am using JAWS 10 and vista home addition. My internet searches for 
help are turning up empty handed.
     Thank you.

God bless,
Mark
