OK, having looked through this, it looks pretty solid to me. I might try installing Vinay's implementation and seeing how it feels in use, as well... Do have a play, it would be nice to get feedback. It's only available as source, though - is that OK?

No problem - I can build it from source.

I'd be inclined not to worry too much about per-user installations. Are per-user file associations possible? I've never used them, myself. Yes, and they can be problematic: see http://www.deadlybloodyserious.com/2007/05/no-script-arguments/ where the problem described has also bitten me. I've no idea what put that association in the registry.

Ugh. That's nasty. It doesn't even look like a standard file type association.

Paul.
