    I am trying to register a multi dotted extension into windows explorer Shell context menu (Win XP). I have a custom Excel 2003 (.xml) file that I have given a multi dotted extension like "fileName.matrix.xml". The idea is that if a user does not have the custom editor (application), it will open with Excel, which it currently does. But if the user has installed the custom editor application and I have registered this .matrix.xml file extention, it will open with the custom application. I do not what to register the .xml to open with the custom editor only if it is a .matrix.xml Here is the Regedit script I have so far, but does not work.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.matrix.xml]
    @="SODA.Matrix Customizer"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer]
    @="SODA Matrix Customization File"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\DefaultIcon]
    @="C:\\Program Files\\SODA\\SODA Matrix Customizer.exe,0"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\Shell]

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\Shell\Open]
    @="Open with SODA's Matrix Customization Tool"

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SODA.Matrix Customizer\Shell\Open\Command]
    @="C:\\Program Files\\SODA\\SODA Matrix Customizer.exe %1"
