With ButtonGadget having to 'register' it's filetype, I'm aware of this 
issue on the PC.

Here's how I've worked around it. Everytime BG launches, it checks the 
registry to make sure it's registered correctly (filepaths, filetypes, 
icons, etc..).

I do this on every launch instead of during installation and it takes 
only a second. Not sure how this works on Macs.
