Maybe, you need to go to Control Panel/Default Programs and set it

there. I don't know, but you can go look. There is also Device Manager

where there in the top node the Computer Name node you can right-click

the node and go to the Device Manager wizard -- maybe you'll get

something there that you're looking for that has the same functionality

that it has on XP.
