Find a file type on your system that does exactly what you
want to do.

Go to View / Folder Options / File Types.


Look at that type of file and click the EDIT button
and you will see the actions window

for example the Streaming Audio / Video shortcut says

open ( in bold print )
play

So set-up your type to do exactly the same thing as the type
you are copying.

Now with regedit you can do a search of the registry.
search for .xxx ( the file extent )

This will give you the locations in the registry and the values
needed to programically set-up file type.
