If I have files that have no extensions (e.g. files in cache of Opera browser) there will no program associated with them. But what if I want to forcibly assign a program to all such files? Any trick?

Also this may be too much to ask from the folks at Redmond, but is there is a trick whereby files in a GIVEN FOLDER can all be assigned to be opened by one program.

Example: I may have jpg files in one folder that I want to be opened by say, Paint, because I want to usually edit them, but I may have jpg files in another folder that I want to be opened by say, a browser or album software.

Thanks!
