Help! Missing the "open with" option in Vista

All of my programs on the desktop have "unknown program icons" instead of the
standard icon. When I click on the icon however the program executes. How
can I get the right associations back?

Hi laffytaffy,
I think you can right click on the icon and go to properties. Then at the bottom of the general tab there is a "change Icon" button. It should give you the default icon to select and use.
