Change Default File Actions

I've changed the default file actions for file types I don't normally use but that can be used to disguise a malicious program.

Screen savers, DOS shortcuts, VBS, etc. They were changed from the default action of install/execute to configure/edit.

From Explorer Tools->Folder Options->File Types
