How to get syntax highlighting for alternate file

Question

For older version of Visual Studio it was a simple tweak in registry

But for Visual Studio 2010+ the same key doesn't exist in registry so how to do it now ?

Answer 1

Go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension and type your alternative extension and then associate it with your editor (e.g. Microsoft Visual C++)
