Open up the registry and look at the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, all the information about the default file types and mappings are stored here. You will need to add two entries to the root of this folder. Right click on the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT folder and select New Key. Create a key with the same name as your file extension, for our example we will use .ken as our extension.
Set the default value to the name of your application, for example we will user KenEdit.
Now create a second key in the root of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT called the same name as your application we will use KenEdit again. NOTE These two names must match.
Create a key named shell under the program name entry.
Create a key named open under the shell key entry.
Create a key named command under the open key entry.
Set the default value for the command key to the name of the application that will edit the files, we will use WordPad for our demonstration so enter the full path to the WordPad program.
Now you should be able to double click on files with a .ken extension in explorer and have it open up the file in WordPad. So now on to adding the KenEdit application to the New menu:
Create a dummy/empty file with the application that will create the new file types, for our example open up wordpad and type Ken as some text.
Then Save the file to a directory called ShellNew under your windows directory as KenEdit.ken, you can call the file whatever you want but by convention we use the programs name and the correct file extension.
Now go back to the registry and under the key for the file extension we created earlier called .ken create a new key called ShellNew.
Under the ShellNew key create a string called FileName and set the value of the FileName to be the name of the empty file we created in step 2 KenEdit.ken.
This is all you need to make the process work but to make things look a little slicker goto the KenEdit key we created in the root folder and set the default value for this key to be a nice name for your application we will user Kens Editor File.

get ip from mac address
this post is lifted from:
http://www.windowsitpro.com/Articles/ArticleID/14462/14462.html?Ad=1
A. A. An easy way to get a list of MAC to IP addresses on the local subnet is to ping every host on the subnet and then check you ARP cache, however pinging every individual node would take ages and the entries only stay in the ARP cache for 2 minutes. An alternative is to ping the broadcast mask of your subnet which will ping every host on the local subnet (you can't ping the entire network as you only communicate directly with nodes on the same subnet, all other requests are via the gateway so you would just get a ARP entry for the gateway).
What is the broadcast mask? The broadcast mask is easy to calculate if the subnet mask is in the format 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 etc. (multiples of 8 bits). For example if the IP address was 134.189.23.42 and the subnet mask was 255.255.0.0 the broadcast mask would be 134.189.255.255, where 255 is in the subnet mask the number from the IP address is copied over, where 0 it is replaced with 255, basically the network id part is kept. If the subnet mask is not the basic 255.255 format, you should use the following, all you need is the IP address and the subnet mask
For each bit set to 1 in the subnet mask, copy the corresponding but from the IP address to the broadcast mask
For each bit set to 0 in the subnet mask, copy a 1 into the corresponding bit of the broadcast mask
for example, IP address 158.234.24.98 and subnet mask 255.255.248.0
The first row is the subnet mask 255.255.248.0, the second row the IP address 158.234.24.98 and the third row is the broadcast mask, 158.234.31.255.
To get the MAC to IP addresses, you would therefore perform the following
pingarp -a
Voila, a list of IP addresses and their MAC address (you can add > filename to get the list to a file, e.g. arp -a > iptomac.lst). You could repeat this exercise on the various subnets of your organization.
Unfortunatly due to limitations in NT's implementation of PING the above will not work correctly so put the following into a file
REM arpping.batping -n 1 -l 1 %1.%2arp -a %1.%2
You can then call the batch file as follows:
C:\> for /l %i in (1,1,254) do arpping 160.82.220 %i
In this case it would generate a list of all MAC to IP addresses for 160.82.220.1 to 160.82.220.254. Again you could put this all in a file, redirect to a file and then search, e.g.
REM test.batfor /l %%i in (1,1,254) do arpping.bat 160.82.220 %%i
Notice you have to use two %%. You could run as
C:\> test.bat > file.txt
Then search listing.txt for (example) dynamic
C:\> findstr dynamic file.txt160.82.220.1 00-00-0c-60-8b-41 dynamic160.82.220.9 00-60-97-4b-bf-4c dynamic160.82.220.13 00-10-4b-49-94-e1 dynamic160.82.220.17 00-80-5f-d8-a4-8b dynamic160.82.220.22 00-a0-d1-02-a4-cf dynamic160.82.220.25 00-60-08-75-0d-7a dynamic160.82.220.26 00-10-4b-44-e4-73 dynamic160.82.220.33 00-10-4b-44-d6-33 dynamic160.82.220.34 00-10-4b-4e-67-6a dynamic160.82.220.35 00-60-97-4b-c4-53 dynamic160.82.220.39 00-10-4b-44-eb-ae dynamic160.82.220.41 00-10-4b-49-7b-f7 dynamic160.82.220.42 00-00-f8-21-7a-7f dynamic160.82.220.43 08-00-20-88-82-57 dynamic160.82.220.221 00-80-5f-88-d0-55 dynamic
You can consolidate the last couple of steps so you just create arpping.bat as before then just issue command:
C:\>for /l %i in (1,1,254) do arpping.bat 10.129.210 %i findstr dynamicC:\>arpping.bat 10.129.210 1 findstr dynamic10.129.210.1 00-08-c7-d3-24-f5 dynamicC:\>arpping.bat 10.129.210 2 findstr dynamic10.129.210.2 00-08-c7-df-81-60 dynamicC:\>arpping.bat 10.129.210 3 findstr dynamic10.129.210.3 00-80-5f-9b-ea-93 dynamicC:\>arpping.bat 10.129.210 4 findstr dynamic10.129.210.4 00-80-5f-9b-36-ea dynamicC:\>arpping.bat 10.129.210 5 findstr dynamic10.129.210.5 00-04-ac-37-78-92 dynamicC:\>arpping.bat 10.129.210 6 findstr dynamic
Notice we only use one % as we are not in a batch file and it automatically only lists found entires or you can use a combination of the different methods to match your exact needs.
