Agreed with Michael.
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.
SO just make a link on the web page?
<a href="" here...</a>
This will download the file and install it on the client?
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?
To force certain filles based on extensions to open in different applications other than the default installed on the client.
Ex: By default .txt files open in WordPad I think. I want to force .txt files to open in a different ascii editor and so on...

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. :-)
