Your first mission is to head to a CLASS-registry within HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. There you'll find information about each file extension, and what's required to become that specific file extension.

It could be storing specific data, painting a picture, or just walking around exploring The System.

If you want to see what kind of file-types there are, go to your start-menu, hit Run and type regedit.
