Default "Set Association Control Panel"


Running Vista Ultimate, 64-bit, in Classic Mode. How do I
get to the "Set Association Control Panel"? I've looked in
what are, to me, all the obvious places. I suspect it is
called something else. I'm looking for it because I
received an attachment from a friend in an email, and the
attachment is photo1.dat and when I try to open it I'm told
I need to associate some hardware/software with that file.

Insight appreciated.

Hello CW Lee,

It sounds like you are talking about Default Programs. These two
tutorials should be able to help you out with using it if needed.
