    If at first you dont succeed.You're screwed.

    You can name your files whatever you want, except for some that have special meaning to Windows: exe, com, bat, cmd. All others (including DLLs) are free game.

    You can associate file extensions with applications, like Word does with .doc. Is that what you mean?
    If so, open the Registry Editor and look at how HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT does it.
