I have tried something simple along these lines and it seems that
Netscape updates its own internal database files with details of
helper apps, etc. I haven't been able to find anything much of any
help in the Registry!?

Unfortunately, the nature of my client's environment is that I can't
get them to download EXEs apart from the MC player or an installer
for the Player. It is a very secure environment with strict rules on
what can and can't be downloaded. They don't even want the *.mc
stacks to be resident any longer than necessary - this is why they
want Netscape to serve up *.mc files using cache space, so they'll be
flushed away in due course!
