Go to Folder Options. Then File Types. Select New. Type the extension you want to register. Click okay. Then back on File Types click Change to register your extension with your program. Open regedit Root. Look for your new extension and modify its value to your program's name eg WinRAR (without .exe). Find your program in the list and change it's default icon. It can be any icon in any folder, not just the one in the exe. Close regedit. Go back to Folder Options, File Types. Click on your extension and hit the restore button.
