The following script will work for all versions on windows post 3.1:
put replaceText(tPath,"/","\") into tPath
put tPath & "\myApp.exe,1" into dIcon
put tPath & "\myApp.exe %1" into sCom
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ext\", "myApp")
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\myApp\", "myApp File")
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\myApp\DefaultIcon\", dIcon)
get setRegistry("HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\myApp\shell\open\command\", sCom)
Where tPath is the path to the folder of the standalone, .ext is the
extension you want to use and the application name is myApp.exe.
