Have you tried making MyProg.exe the default application for a .sdf file ? – Shakehar Apr 24 '11 at 20:23

Here is the needed registry entries. you can save it as a .reg file (for example sdef_associate.reg) and use the command line tool reg (build in windows) to import it for example: REG IMPORT sdef_associate.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.sdf]
@="sdef_file"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sdef_file]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sdef_file\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sdef_file\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sdef_file\shell\open\command]
@="\"D:\\myprog.exe\" %1"
