Launching my app from a browser link

Hi,
I've written a win32 app that registers a custom file type. What I'd like is
for my app to start automatically when users click a link to that custom file
type in a browser.
During installation the app registers the custom file type and extension
(.c2c) under HKEY_ROOT. When click a link to that file type in IE, it pops a
dialog asking me if I want to open or save the file, when I click "open" the
application loads but with the following problems:
1. IE describes it as an "unknown file type" (small problem)
2. The app takes about a minute to load the first time (BIG PROBLEM!)
It's almost as if IE can't figure out what app to load.
Are there step-by-step instructions on how to launch a custom app from a
browser link? I have found directions on how to register a custom file type
but they never say how to launch that app from a browser.
Any and all replies are appreciated.
Barry
