Cough! You don't. Unlike Apple, MS doesn't maintain a list
of registered suffices (file types). If you conflict, you
conflict. The solution is "don't install both
applications". You will be much safer choosing a four
letter suffix though since most people (even developers)
think you can't do that (yes, all MS operating systems from
Win95 on support more than three character suffices -- have
you clicked on an ".html" file lately?).
-Greg.
P.S. Notice that my fill-column is set to 60 characters, just
for you UNIX neanderthals. :-)
