Set Windows Registry

[Bill Marriott]

When messing with the registry, be sure to write to the correct area so that 
your solution will not fail when running under a limited account, or with 
multiple users.

For example, limited accounts running your software may only write to their 
portion of the

HKEY_CURRENT_USER

section of the registry.

I have only done this once, but I followed all the instructions on the
relevant page of Ken Ray's wonderful collection of tips. You need to
set more registry entries to tell the system what to do when you
double-click on an associated file. Read the complete article here
