C# custom setup

Hi all,



A few questions regarding the custom setup program in C#:



1. How do I make the custom setup copy a few files (image files, icon files, or text files), into the application path?

2. Suppose that my program saves text files with a cetrain extension (for example .abc). How do I make the computer display these files with my icon, and not with the notepad icon (which is the default choice for text files)?

3. How do I prevent from my program to be copyable, or how do I provide each copy with a registration key, without which the setup will not be complete? (I am not looking for a 100% hacker proof method, only something basic)



Thanks

Benjamin
