    File Types

    Hello, I have two questions about file types.

    [1]I was wondering how to edit the registry and associate file types in C++. I've googled it, and found some info but I don't really understand, and I don't really want to go messing with it since it can get you into trouble...

    [2]Along with that, how would you get the program to know what file you clicked on? Like with text files, you double click on the file and it opens the file in the editor. Is there a way to do that in C++? (Of course there is, how would everyone else do it?) If #1 can't be done, then of course forget #2 because they go together. Thanks in advance.

    If anyone just knows of any links or tutorials for editing the registry in C++, that would be fine also.
