A method includes establishing a registry in which a filename extension of a file or document is associated with at least one network-hosted application that is capable of processing files having that filename extension. The method further includes configuring a cloud computing service to respond to a user-selection, on a personal computing device, of a network-hosted file having a particular filename extension for processing by using the registry to select a network-hosted application that is capable of processing files having that particular filename extension.
