Fix modifying file type associations under MSW as non-admin

Browse Source 
The existing code tried writing to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT which doesn't work, in
general, for normal, i.e. non administrator, users, under any post-XP versions
of Windows.

Fix it to write to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes, which is the part of
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT for the current user and to which we do have write access,
and only continue to use HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT itself for reading.
