How do I get a file type to show up with a name I choose in Windows Explorer?

I associated a file extension using the command assoc. But in the Explorer, it lists the type as the extension name. I.e. assoc .sh=ShellScript will still cause explorer to show the type as SH File.

Anyway to change it so it shows up as ShellScript or better yet, Shell Script?

EDIT:

Using assoc didn't work. Seems to be something wrong with my registry. I figured that using quotes would put in a white space, but because it didn't show up in the explorer, I figured it may have been part of the problem.
