If you have

1. the extension of the document(s),
2. an example file, and
3. the related executeable EXE file and it's location,

then it should be possible to assign the document's file type to the exe
program. This usually can be done in the Windows Explorer, under a menu item
named something like "Extras/Folder Options, Filetypes" (it may be named
slightly different; I have a german Windows). You can look into any other file
type listed there, to see how that looks exactly. You can define the right-click
options for the file type, including the standard option which is activated by
doubleclick.

If it's not an EXE file but i.e. a DLL, it's more difficult... these are often
started by sequences like "RUNDLL.EXE ...". But in this case, I think one of the
programmers among the member here should be able to help.
