What this feature does
The file association web service helps users associate file types with specific applications. If you try to open a file type that does not have program associated with it, Windows will ask if you want to use the file association web service to find a program to open the file with. If you choose to use the service, it will send the file type extension to Microsoft. Applications that are typically associated with the file name extension are displayed.
Information collected, processed or transmitted
If you choose to use the file association service, the file name extension is sent to Microsoft. Your computer display language is also sent to Microsoft.
Use of information
When you submit a file name extension, the service returns a list of the programs Microsoft is aware of, using your display language, that can open files of that extension. Unless you choose to download and install a program, the associations for the file type are not changed.
Choice and control
You choose whether to use the file association web service. No file association information is sent to Microsoft unless you decide to use the service. Administrators have several options to prevent users from using this service. For more information about administrative options, see the Using Windows Vista: Controlling Communication with the Internet article online at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=77931.
