Are you asking for something like the appwiz.cpl or the folders command in WindowsXP/Vista? This is hidden in Windows 7.
If you don't like the control panel route, there is a freeware app called "<a href="http://www.defaultprogramseditor.com">Default Programs Editor</a>" that lets you find hidden or unassociated file types and add them, as needed.
