Actions for file associations?

In previous versions of Windows, the file association had an "advanced"
button that let me specify different programs for different actions (e.g.
one program to view a photo and a different one for editing). Is it
possible to do this in Vista? If so, how.

Thank you.

Hi,

No, that function was removed in Vista. You have to do manual registry
editing to add them now.
