Default File Extensions


Hi. Using the forum I have found Control Panel - Default Programs. But
i want to be able to make the extensions show on certain extensions,
like in XP. Like say I have PowerISO, and I wan't windows to show me
what is a .daa and what is an .iso. I really don't want to turn on the
option to show all known file types, because I don't want to see all of
them. Just ones that I chose. I know you could do this in XP, in the
file associations tab of folder options. Is there a way I can do this in
Vista?

Hello Dcoryh192,

I'm sorry, but you can only have it set to show all or no file
extensions in Vista.

I'm curious, how do you do it in XP?
