It should be automatic, so it sounds like something has broken on your 
system.

For starters, please could you put VirtualRPC in a window, then click 
in turn on Tools -- Options and then the Hostfs Extensions tab.

In the main window, you should then have 2 columns, listing all the 
filetypes, with the 3-character alphanumeric code for each filetype in 
the Type column, and the equivalent RISC OS filetypes in the 
Extensions column.

If the listing is missing, that's your problem, easily fixed. If not, 
it's something more deep-seated.

Could you rreport back and we'll try to take it from there.
