win32: Registering windows file types?

[N.K]

For registering windows filetypes, basically you need to add couple of
registry entries. This article should give you a good idea on that.

 Windows Registry can be edited with Python. ( I havent done that , To
be honest) ,Check Mark Hammond's post on that

Hope this helps,
