Exclamation Other software running executables in vista

In the digit issue of November '08, in QnA, there was mentioned a way to solve the problem if executables are being run using a program, Nero Backitup in the QnA.
The Solution was:
1. Go to My Computer
2. Click on Tools in the menu bar
3. Click on Folder options
4. Click on the File Types tab
5. In Registered file types, select extension EXE.
Look at the type of associated program and see
that it is Nero Backitup.
6. Select extension and click on delete.
7. Restart your computer

But that works in XP. In Vista, there isn't a tab called File Types in Folder Options. In Vista, I couldn't find an option to delete a specific extension (Step 6 above). How do I solve such a problem in Vista?
