editing file type actions

in xp, we can add parameters after setting the executables.

how do we do this in vista? I can only select applications.

Hi,

There is no easy way, you have to hack the registry.

As others said. Or here is a third-party alternate, posted by someone earlier in this newsgroup.

yes, registry hack was the way to go.

I assumed these options where probably placed elsewhere in vista.
dissappointing to see this option taken out.
