If if I understand correctly then you can some how add .ght to the registry and it will understand it as a .ght file just like .txt . 
I think your best bet is to google it! 

objection -- best bet is me. i'm an expert with registry values now 

so. to start the tut.
open the registry
make a new key called .ght or whatever in HKEY-CLASSES or something.
set that key GhostProject or whatever 
make a new key in the same place called GhostProject (or whatever)
set that to Ghost Project (or whatever you want the name to be)
add a key inside that called shell and anothr called defaultIcon
set defaultIcon to the pth of an ico file and add ,0 after it.
set shell to open
make a new key inside shell called open
set that to Open File
make a new key inside open called command
set that to the path of the exe, the path of the image AND "%1"
it definitely works

It wont work!!!!!!!!!

if you've done what LS97 said and it doesn't work I strongly suggest removing what you have just done and maybe google your question instead. Chances are there is another way to do this!

im gonna try this for ribbit! .rbt

that way though you'll need an installer that will edit registry values to do this on a wider scale. 

RAGE has a file ext system w/o editing the reg.

I have to bring this back up. I don't want to make a new topic.

LS97, I'm sure your still active.
If i'm at this part:
"make a new key in open called command"

and the files are all in program files/Ghost, what should I type?

Exactly like that, with the quotations and all?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ght]
@="Ghost Project"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ght\GhostProject]
@="Ghost Project"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ght\GhostProject\shell]
@="open"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ght\GhostProject\shell\open]
@="Open File"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ght\GhostProject\shell\open\command]
@="C:/---/ScratchMods/Ghost/GhostLaunch.exe "C:/---/ScratchMods/Ghost/GhostLaunch.image" "%1""

Seems right, right?

You can do it quickly, it works for Windows.
Before I start - DOWNSIDES:
- This is only for your computer. You have to tell other people what to do.
- You can't set a custom icon. However, what it does come up with should be fine.
- You can't make it say that it's a "Ghost Project". It will still say it's a "GHT File", but it will open with your mod.

What to do:
1. Open control panel.
2. Open Folder Options.
3. Uhh... do you have XP?

3. Windows 7.

windows 7 has a different control panel and folder options does not have that option anymore. you can also right click a project and select open with and set it as default.... also... one.. more... thing.............. you can't associate files like that because it won't find the .image file so you will have to use the registry or an installer.

:S You could also just right click a .ght project, click 'Open with...', 'Select program...', (find your Ghost exe), check the box to remember it, click ok 

Although it might act weird because the squeak VM also needs its image file...
