Is there something like "inheritance" for Windows file associations? I have a file type called rrx that is just a XML file. Now if I open explorer's context menu for a rrx file, I would like it to show all actions registered for XML files (Open in IE, XML Notepad etc.) as well as my actions written especially for rrx files. Is there a way to tell Windows: Handle files with extension rrx as XML files plus this additional stuff?

I found this in Windows help:
If you click New and type in rrx, you can associate that with XML document, so you can then use the XML document default programs.
