Thread: File Types Automatically Open With My Program

How do I make it so that .txt files are automatically opened in my Notepad application instead of in the real Notepad?

One more question, how can I open more than one type of file.
Here is my code.

Code:

strcat(filter,"Text Files"); \\ Want to open .txt and .npp (notepad plus files, the name of the program)
int index = strlen(filter) + 1;
filter[index++] = '*';
filter[index++] = '.';
filter[index++] = 't';
filter[index++] = 'x';
filter[index++] = 't';
if(GetOpenFileName(&open_params))
{
.....
}
