Many thanks for this - works for me too.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Languages\File Extensions.ipp"
{B2F072B0-ABC1-11D0-9D62-00C04FD9DFD9}
makes it edit like .cpp
But I still doubt if files should be called .ipp.

| On the specific issue of MSVC integration: Assuming you're using MSVC
| 7.[01], the mapping of file extensions to editors is declared in the
| registry. Specifically, the entries under
| "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Languages\File Extensions" are
| extension keys whose default value is the CSLID of the editor. So
| simply creating a new entry for ".ipp" and copying the CLSID listed for
| ".cpp" will give you your C++-specific editing features in MSVC. (We do
| this as part of our standard installation here, since ".tpl" is an
| standard extension for template implementation files internally.)
|
| Whether use of ".ipp" as a standard extension is a good idea is, of
| course, a different discussion.
