In XP, in the folders section of the control panel, you were able to use advance settings for file extensions and decide what was available when you 'right clicked' on that type of file, but this is missing in Vista. Is this option still available in Vista and if so, how do you access it???

I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to. There never was a right click "context menu" editor in XP -- changes there had to be made manually in the registry or with a 3rd party utility of some kind.

The File Types dialog, present in XP, is not in Folder Options and does not offer the same editing features -- which were largely restricted to how the file opened and in what, when you selected it.

The nearest thing in Vista to the file association dialog of XP is the Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a file type or Protocol with a Specfic program.

I believe all the basic locations for context menu items in the registry in Vista is the same as in XP as covered here:
