Programmatically Checking and Setting File Types

Generally the installation package for an application will modify the registry of the end user's Windows installation and set up all of the file types that are required. This is an ideal place in which to perform this action. However, it can be problematic should the user remove or reconfigure the file type. Also, with Xcopy deployment, it is possible that no installation package will be executed.
