Default Adding a new excel file type

Hi all,

I have a certain type of tab seperated file that I would like to load
in Excel.

I have a macro that will do the trick for me, but I'd like to make
things a bit easier on my users, by allowing them to open these files
transparently.

Ideally, I would like to have:

myfile.myextension

registered to be opened by microsoft excel on double click

And, here it comes, add the .myextension file type to the list of
default file types in excel, and hook up my macro when it wants to
open a file of this type.

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance,

Wim

Advanced, Select Microsoft Excel Application.
