Folder Options can be selected from the Control Panel or by opening any folder with Windows Explorer and selecting "Tools -> Folder Options" and then selecting the "File Types" tab. In Vista and later these file type associations were moved to the more appropriately named "Default Programs" section of the Control Panel (and are now inaccessible from Windows Explorer's Folder Options). Within the Default Programs windows select "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" for a comprehensive list of all file types registered on your current installation. @Ronald Morris
