However: assoc and ftype modify the registry keys under HKLM\Software\Classes. This works fine if these are the only relevant keys, but if you also have settings under HKCU\Software\Classes, those will take precedence, so assoc and/or ftype won't have any effect. Also, you typically need at least "Power User" status in order to modify the keys under HKLM, while any user should be able to modify those under HKCU (HKCU is a "virtual" key, corresponding to HKU\<interactive user>). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
