Question how to associate file types with app in vb6?

is there an easy way to associate an extension with my app? I was hoping to not use an installer - just allow the user the choice to associate it by clicking a button in the program.

I want the documents with that extension to have my icon too!

thanks

Ammmm,
Im 99% sure that it's a registry setting somewhere and that it can be changed with an API call. Goto www.vbapi.com and search for "file type change". It should bring up the name of the API.
