Mac app binding -- Setting Windows Registry

[Sivakatirswami]

I don't use installers.. People just download stacks, standalone or  
otherwise, and run them.

1) I'm wondering, to set the windows double-clickable.rev app-doc  
binding, if one were to put this into  the preopen stack handler...

if platform()="Win32"
     get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.rev\", "Revolution")
end if

which obviously will run every time the stack is opened, even though  
it was set initially and only really needed to be set  once...

If this "set the registry again, (and again, and again...) everytime  
you open" could be problematic in anyway?

Of course there will be many other strategies, but I always start  
with KISS.

2) Is there a way to hack the rev IDE to globally set the  
stackFileType to that this is *always* set to the Mac Creator Code I  
have from Apple, for my main player?  And, does this property tay  
alive through the entire session if you haven't quit (thus is applied  
to any and all stacks being saved.
     b) once this set for a stack... does it stick? or, is the  
stackFileType "momentary"
     c) how can you query the "stackFileType" property of a stack (if  
I could I could answer b) above

3) if a  users does a Save As under my player, will the new stack  
have the stackFileType applied?
