Hi Kevin,

PMFJI, but the registered extensions are not completely reliable. For example, on my machine Imaging for Windows has registered the DCX extension as a "DCX Image Document", and Windows Scripting has hijacked the SCT extension as a "Window Script Component". There is nothing really preventing an application from registering any given extension as it's own under current Windows OS's.
