dangle a carrot in front of a horse, attach a large cable from it's tails to the base-unit and hope it works....

Oh, I didn't understand the question fully.

You mean like have an extension (.htm) associate with a different program?

I assume you mean by code. This all goes through the registry. For instance, [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.txt] has as "Default" key the value "txtfile". Then in [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\txtfile\Shell\Open\Command] the "Default" key has the associated application (Notepad, or whatever). You need to reproduce this pattern, by making/changing these 2 registry entries. Your programming tool may provide you with functions to do that, or just use the Windows APIs (RegCreateKey, etc.)
