Application to manage Windows file associations

Question

Looking for a reliable and free-of-cost Windows 7 compatible application to mange Windows file associations.

The one integrated into Windows XP wasn't bad. The one integrated into Windows 7 is just sad.

Reliability is essential.

Open-source always a plus.
