Ignac is perfectly right, but he doesn't follow his own advice to the limit.
Simply specify *.* as the seach mask, and the application you defined will be
invoked for *ALL* non-executable files you double-click on *EXCEPT* the ones
you defined another application for by specifying a file type.

   Note that you must specify a complete path to your application (i.e.
C:BINEDITTEMPUS.PRG), and that you must be careful not to change the
DESKTOP.INF in any other way. So preserve trainling blanks and the Ctl-Z at the
end.

   I even have a program that can make such changes in DESKTOP.INF on the fly
in the copy of DESKTOP.INF *in*memory* ||

   Easy, eh??   :-)
