Default Filetype Properties (icon, application, context menu)

Hi NG,

How can I change the filetype properties like icon, which application
should open the filetype (and with what parameters) and what actions
should the context menu show if I right click a file.

In XP I can change this settings in the explorer with
Tools - Options - File Types

But there is no File Types tab in Vista RC1

Control Panel Programs, under Default Programs is a link "Make a file type
always open in a specific program". there you can set file associations.
