File association and comand line info

Hi

I'm new to Vista and I'm struggling with a problem.

In XP I used to be able to edit how an application opened when you double clicked on a file association

in XP I did:
- file Explorer / view / options / File types /
- Select the file type - press Advanced - / edit/ open /edit

In applications browse to find the application

Eg C:\PROGRA~1\PAINTS~1\PSP.EXE

I used to be able to edit this line and add parameters eg PSP.exe /dde

and also edit the DD MESSAGE put: [open("%1")]

This allowed me to control how PSP opened up.

I can't seem to be able to do this in Vista. Does anyone know how to add parameters like this

Thanks
