That's something that I always wherever I can knowing just how restricted
Windows is when it comes to file associations. As a fairly recent Mac user
(not before OS X) I am never completely sure what it uses for file
association (some sequence of extension and resource fork I guess). Best of
all the OS I have tried was BeOS that used MIME throughout the OS, including
the Tracker (analogous to finder/Explorer).
