In C++ code, how would I customize an extension.

I'm using C++ and my program outputs files, if/when I make an installer for it, I'd like to know how to make a program that can assoicate a file extension ex. ".iazj" with a name, icon, and program to open.

If your target OS is Windows, the MSDN forum might be a better place to ask.

If you're on Windows, you can write a program that adds the association on the Windows registry, it's the most easy way!
