It's more of an A --> B --> C where A = mime content application/x-ldraw, B =
.DAT file type, C = registered application for filetype B.
Also file naming definitely seems to be something that the client handles. On
my system IE4 always names it ldraw.dat. even if it already exist. My best
guess is it is pulling "ldraw" from the content type and "dat" from the
registered extension. I included the pertinent registry entries from my
system for comparison.

MIME data shows application/x-draw
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-ldraw]
"Extension"=".DAT"
links to .dat
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.DAT]
@="DAT_auto_file"
"Content Type"="application/x-ldraw"
links to DAT_auto_file
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DAT_auto_file]
@="DAT File"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DAT_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="D:\\LDRAW\\LDLITE\\LDLITE.EXE \"%1\""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DAT_auto_file\shell\Edit\command]
@="c:\\windows\\notepad.exe \"%1\""
BTW you can register multiple applications to handle an extension. One will
be the default action but several can be made available from the right-click
context menu.
