Well, I don't use vista, but google leads to
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-500 where it says:
The Folder Options window in Windows Vista is missing the File Types tab
found in earlier versions of Windows. So how do you edit file type
associations
in Windows Vista?
There are three ways:
Method #1 (on the fly):
1. Right-click a file of the type you want to change, and select
Properties.
2. In the General tab, click the Change button.
3. Choose a program from the list, or click Browse to select an .EXE
file on your hard disk.
Method #2 (view a list of file types):
1. Open Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel Home, click Programs, and then click Make a file
type always open in a specific program. Or, in the Classic View, open
Default Programs
and then click Associate a file type or protocol with a program.
3. Highlight a file type in the list and click Change Program.
list end
Unfortunately, neither method in Vista allows you to choose anything but
the default programs, such as the programs listed in your files' context
menus.
If you want complete control over your file types, use this tool:
Method #3 (File Type Doctor):
1. Download and install
Creative Element Power Tools.
2. Open the Creative Element Power Tools Control Panel.
3. Turn on the Edit file type associations option, and click Accept.
4. Right-click a file of the type you want to change, and select Edit
File Type to show this window:
File Type Doctor
5. Click Help if you need more information.
Since I'm not running Vista, I can't verify any of this. good luck!

Hi Dan and Brent...
Sure cannot find any file types pages in either WMP or Folder Options
in the control panel in Vista.
Sure was handy in XP. All I want to know if WMP will play sound files
on YouTube. I cannot get that Web page to play sound at all.
Thanks,
