I do this with our users as well.
You can make a simple file link from a web page and instruct the user to
click on the link, click Open and then Yes. This will usually work.
Sometimes they will find it necessary instead to save it to their local
drive
and execute it from there by double-clicking on it.
The other consideration is that reg files are not backward compatible,
so rather than use the header "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00",
you may need to change it to REGEDIT4 if you have any Windows 98 users.

PS. Just out of curiosity why is it so important that you set the mime
types?

Good luck! I would never accept a reg file unless I knew what was inside it
and could verify it myself! The best way to go about it is to let the user
download the file and install the reg keys themselves... After they
thoroughly examine them that is. :-)
