Sarf answered this request (or another identical one not too long back). Yes, the extension mapping can be done per client. It's not easy to add another category, though. The type is transmitted as a byte (8 bit, #s 0-255) value, not a string. So someone else's addition category might be um, "VCards" (ie .vcf), but yours might be "Batch Files" (.bat). There's no way for clients to figure out what extensions you're trying to search for, or, in the case of additional categories, what that category means to your client.
