where in the registry are file association keys?

I have to change a file association via changing a registry key
directly. I know how to do it programmatically. What I need to know is
what registry keys need to be changed. Specifiically I need to associate
the file extension jsp with Internet explorer.

Thanks
Howie

Hi Howie,

Which Programming language do you use? Writing / reading from registry is
easy using VBScripts.

Ramesh,
Sorry for the confusion. I program in dbase plus...my question is NOT
HOW to change the registry ( i can do that) its what keys need to be
changed to associate a file type (in this case jsp) with a program (in
this case IE) so that when i double click on myfile.jsp it loads and
runs in Internet Explorer

HKCR\.JSP

HKCR\jspfile\shell\open\command
"c:\Program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" "%1"
