Open TXT file in WORDPAD -

hi friends,
As we know whenever we open a .TXT file by double-click, it opens in NOTEPAD, as we have already asked our operating system to do so, now I want to develop a small program, which will make changes in my windows systems, where by if I open a TXT file, it should get open in WORDPAD instead of NOTEPAD.

Thanks in advance,
