Vista - attachments

im trying to open an attachment and its telling me that this file does not
have a program associated with it for performing this action and to create
and association in the set association control panel. how do i do that?

What type of attachment?
Try this: go to Default Programs, which you can reach either
from the Start menu or the Control Panel, then click on:
"Associate a file type..."

The other way to do this is to save the attachment, then
right-click on the saved file, select Open With...
The rest is self-explanatory. The selection you make should stick,
so that from then on the file extension is properly associated.

Are you asking how to find "Open With"?
Just right-click on the file.
