Cough!  You don't [find out what suffixes are in use by Windows].  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".

Not entirely true.  Any suffix that the Windows File Manager knows how to do
anything with
(Open, Edit, etc.) will be in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
Basically, if you
enumerate all registry keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, then look at only the
ones beginning
in a ".", then you will see all the registered suffixes.

Of course, we all know how fun dissecting the registry is.
