Provides classes for associating applications with file types and accessing a registered file type association.

Every desktop allows the user to view files with the associated applications. Usually a desktop comes with a registry that allows the user to associate applications with file types. An association includes information like a MIME type, file extensions, and actions that could be applied to the file type. By accessing the association information, the desktop could invoke the appropriate applications to handle a file, display an URL or send an email.
