how can i make another computer recognize a specific file extension?

I wrote my own little proggie that creates text files that have the extension *.abc (for example).

I want to give the program to my parents and have them be able to use it. Here's the problem though... they're computers will not recognize *.abc as a known file extension. In reality it is just a text file, so wordpad, etc. will work great, but how do I make they're computer associate a program with that file type?

I would assume that it's part of the installation technique, but I don't know anything about that!
