How to register file types for Explorer Preview Pane?
I like the idea of the integrated Preview Pane. It's great for text files, so
that you don't need to open Notepad to read every file in a directory. I would like to "register" many other file types with the same preview handler. For instance, *.sql, *.cs, *.aspx .... however, I can't for the life of me figure out how I can associate extensions with preview handlers in Vista. Anyone know how?

How to register file types for Explorer Preview Pane?
I'm not interested in changing what program is used to _open_ the file. The
extensions are all registered with their appropriate programs (Visual Studio, SSMS, etc). I want to register how Windows "previews" the files in the Preview Pane.
