Actually, it's just a few registry entries underh HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT; one to create the association between a file type and an app, and the other a set of keys that describe the app. Take a look at how HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.DOC points to the handler for .DOC files; follow the app references and you'll see how the necessary entries should be created.
