Adding file type association using vbScript

fext = "fcz"
prgid = "FCZ File"
des = "FCZ File"

Set o = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
o.regwrite "HKCR\." + fext + "\" , prgid ', "REG_SZ"
o.regwrite "HKCR\" + prgid + "\", des ', "REG_SZ"
'o.regwrite "HKCR\" + prgid + "\DefaultIcon\", extico, "REG_SZ"
o.regwrite "HKCR\" + prgid + "\Shell\","Open"
o.regwrite "HKCR\" + prgid + "\Shell\Open\Command\", """" + extanm + """ ""%1""", "REG_SZ"

Playing with Registry using Python.,

def regReadValue( regKey, subKey, name ):
#print regKey
aReg = ConnectRegistry(None,regKey)
aKey = OpenKey(aReg, subKey)
index = 0
data = []
while 1:
try:
regName = EnumValue(aKey, index)
if name == regName[0]:
data = regName[1:]
print data
return data
except:
break
index = index + 1
return data

def regRead( regKey, subKey):
#print regKey
aReg = ConnectRegistry(None,regKey)

index = 0
data = []
while 1:
try:
print("Enumkey =" + subKey + "\\" + EnumKey(aKey, index))
data.append( subKey + "\\" + EnumKey(aKey, index))
except:
break
index = index + 1
return data

def regWrite(regKey, subKey, regValue, regData, regType):

print subKey
aKey = CreateKey(aReg, subKey) #, 0, KE)
try:
SetValueEx(aKey,regValue,0, regType, regData)
except EnvironmentError:
print "Encountered problems writing into the Registry..."
CloseKey(aKey)
CloseKey(aReg)

def regDelete(regKey, subKey):
#aReg = ConnectRegistry(none,regKey)
reg = regRead(regKey, subKey)
for a in reg:
regDelete(regKey,a)
print a
DeleteKey(regKey, subKey)
