In IE7, "File Options" was in the dropdown menu under "tools." I can't find it in IE8.

In IE7, "File Options" was in the dropdown menu under "tools."

You are mistaken. In IE7 there is no "File options" item in the "Tools" menu. There is, however, an "Internet options" item. If this is what you mean, then it is also under the "Tools" menu in IE8.

Hope this helps,

I had the cause of the problem wrong in the first posting. The issue wasn't caused by IE8 but, rather, by Vista. The ability to reach and modify file types was in the Tool menu of Vista. It's not anymore.

Thanks,

File type was in the tools menu of Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer. In Vista, you can access the file type settings in Control Panel, Programs, Default Programs.
