I believe you're supposed to do this with a "regular" explorer window,
NOT Internet Explorer. Try "Start/Programs/Windows Explorer", or right
click on "My Computer" and select Explore.
I just tried it on Windows 2000 and I had to use "Tools->Folder Options"
to find the "File Types" tab. And naturally the resulting dialog box looks
different from the one in Windows 98, hmmm. I love the way M$ changes the
interface all the time.

I don't have an iexplore.inf, but I'm pretty sure there is something in the
registry for this. A quick regedit turns up this:
@="ldlite Document"
"EditFlags"=dword:00000000
"AlwaysShowExt"=""
"BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ldlite.Document\shell]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ldlite.Document\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ldlite.Document\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\projects\\ldglite\\l3glite.exe -v3 -fh \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\l3glite.exe]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\l3glite.exe\shell]
"FriendlyCache"="l3glite"
"FriendlyCacheCTime"=hex:40,6f,54,6b,b3,a4,bf,01
@="open"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\l3glite.exe\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Applications\l3glite.exe\shell\open\comman
d]
@="C:\\projects\\ldglite\\l3glite.exe \"%1\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\cgi_auto_file]
@="Ldraw file"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\cgi_auto_file\shell]
@="open"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\cgi_auto_file\shell\open]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\cgi_auto_file\shell\open\command]
@="C:\\projects\\ldglite\\l3glite.exe \"%1\""
Good luck adding that by hand though. :) You'd have to substitute l3lab.exe
and it's path for l3glite.exe.
