I like to do something like this to register file types...
(reg.wsf follows)
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<?job error="yes" debug="no" ?>
<package>
<job id="default">
<runtime>
<description><![CDATA[Script to register a file type
(reg.wsf)]]></description>
<example><![CDATA[ ]]></example>
</runtime>
<script language="Python">
<![CDATA[
extension = ".test"
progid = "testfile"
type = "text/plain"
appname = "Extension Test"
handler = "\"%windir%\\notepad.exe\" \"%1\""
""" Register the extension """
key = "HKCR\\"+extension+"\\"
Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Shell.RegWrite(key, progid)
Shell.RegWrite(key + "\\Content Type", type)
""" Register the ProgID """
key = "HKCR\\"+progid+"\\"
Shell.RegWrite(key, appname)
Shell.RegWrite(key + "\\shell\\action\\command\\", handler, "REG_EXPAND_SZ")
Shell.RegWrite(key + "\\DefaultIcon\\",
"\"%SystemRoot%\\system32\\shell32.dll\",-152", "REG_EXPAND_SZ")
WScript.echo("all done.")
""" Notify the shell that we made a change """
from win32com.shell import shell
shell.SHChangeNotify(0x08000000L, 0, None, None)
]]>
</script>
</job>
</package>
