"Set Association Control Panel"

Running Vista Ultimate, 64-bit, in Classic Mode. How do I
get to the "Set Association Control Panel"? I've looked in
what are, to me, all the obvious places. I suspect it is
called something else. I'm looking for it because I
received an attachment from a friend in an email, and the
attachment is photo1.dat and when I try to open it I'm told
I need to associate some hardware/software with that file.

Insight appreciated.
