[cjl] | Any ideas about how to set file type associations without writing to | the registry?
Well, yes. Just the same as was in the article you pointed to... or have I missed something? assoc .py=python.file ftype python.file="c:\python24\python.exe" "%1" %* (or whatever version of Python). Obviously switching like this is prone to the difficulties outlined there: if something crashes and you don't change back, you're stuck until you change it back manually.
