Associating files with application and changing files icons

Hello list,

1. Can someone tell me how can I associate a custom file to my application
?
I need to associate files with extension ".abc" with my app (directly
throught code, not by selecting "Open with" from info)
Is this possible ?

b. Also, it is possible to change the file icon of all "abc" files to a
custom icon, after association ? I noticed some apps are doing that, but I
have no idea how .

I have been searching the list but I found only empty talks about what is
better to use : file extension/ file type, creator type
or about using/not using file extensions ...

Some link, code or starting point would be much appreciated.

Regards, Cristian
