    This involves fiddling around with the registry. I had a look at one of these web sites, here's how to do it:

    1. Run 'regedit.exe'
    2. Expand "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"
    3. Inside "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT", expand "***"
    4. Inside "***", create a key called "shell"
    5. Inside "shell" create a key called "open"
    6. Inside "open" edit the string "(default)" to say "open (notepad)"
    7. Inside "open" create a key called "command"
    8. Inside "command" edit the string "(default)" to say ### "%1"

    *** is your extension
    ### is your app location
