In XP you had it in Folder Options. In Vista you dont see it, though !
To set File Associations in Windows Vista, Open Control Panel > Programs > 'Make a file type always open in a specific program'.

You will be displayed a list of Programs along with a Description and the Current Default.

You can click on the Change program to set/re-set the current defaults.
