Brand new file extension?

I have searched all over, and found nothing.

I want to create a new file extension called "wry". And I don't really need
to associate it with anything, but in case that bit of information is
required for an answer here in this forum, let's say I want to open it with
notepad.

How to do this?

thanks,
weary

Create a file
test.wry

right click on the file,
select open
you will get a window saying Windows cannot open this file, Select a program
from a list of installed programs.
note a check box in lower left, Always use the selected program, make sure
this is checked
select notepad, select OK

Now any *.wry file will open with notepad when double clicked.
