What happened to "Open As"

I was finally able to move from VS6 to Visual Studio 2005, and for the most
part I'm loving it.  It took me a while to figure out how to add new message
handlers and virtual function overrides to classes, but once I found that, I
was flying along.

One thing still bothers me though ... what happened to the "Open As"
combobox that VS6 had on its "Open File" dialog?  Sometimes I want to open a
resource file in a text editor, or open a text file in a binary editor, that
kind of thing.  How do I tell Visual Studio 2005 in what format to open a
file?

Thanks,
Chris

There should be a little down arrow at the right of the Open button - click
on that and choose Open With.
