| Go to "Tools | Fold Options" in Windows Explorer, select the tab "File Types" and click "New" to create the new file type. Then you can select it in the file type lists and assign a new icon to it. |

| Then you need to edit Windows registry by programming. If you know some programing language, it's easy to do it. |

When you create a new VC project, you have the chance to register a new file type without any coding.
New file registration is a very common task, try searching the MSDN documentation for detailed instructions, it should be only several lines of code.
This forum is for XP users other than programmers, I will not go into the details. If you can't figure it out, try asking on http://www.codeproject.com/ |
