   Couldn't you use a batch script as a wrapper to your program?  In the   
   .bat file, run the program.  After it exits, use a 'ren' command to   
   change the extension from .rtf to .txt.   
      
      
   ren .rtf .txt   
      
   Then when you double-click on the .txt file in Explorer, Notepad will   
   open.  The test I did showed Notepad will work how you want.   
      
   However, you don't even need to use Explorer to double-click on the   
   file.  In the batch script, when your program exits, have the script run   
   Notepad to open the file.   
      
      
   notepad .rtf   
      
   Regardless of what is the extension, Notepad will load the text file.
