The removal of the File Type Manager in Vista has been driving me crazy. The
"Default Programs" doesn't work 90% of the time and will not allow you to set
more than just the default. With Windows XP I was able to set as many "Open
With" as I wanted in the list so I had multiple choices like with .png or
..jpg files where I have about 6 applications I use to edit them. I was also
able to create my own file type entries too.
Anyway I found a cool solution in this freeware program that is simple and
easy to use.

Thought I would post it in case anyone else is getting tired of doing
registry modifications every time they want to change a file type.
