Re: Fun Wine Project -- Configure Some Default Registry Entries

Well, this should handle most all file types.  What is winecfg written in?  I'd be happy to work with the source, but I'm a java guy, so I might be spinning my wheels.

The URIs/URLs may be a bit tougher to wrap up.

As far as going in the other direction, simply using "wine start /path/to/file" in theory would launch wine's default app for that association.  Should be a one-liner.

I have been thinking that this sort of thing should be part of wineconfig.
Windows allows users to define what applications should open what documents
and so should wine. But wine should also have the added benefit of allowing
a choice of native or windows apps to be used. It was a major pain getting
my windows apps to launch native firefox when links are clicked. It would
be nice if this was built into wine.

Just my $.02
