All this information is stored in system registry. You can either call registry methods directly or write a class that wraps low level registry calls into high level methods.

The easiest way would be to create an .msi installer that automatically associates the said filetype with that of the installed application. The other way would be: go through registry as previous CP member mentioned. Be sure your application has the proper administrative priviledges if you plan to alter the registry.
