Having read the other replies to date, I'd like to add that the
AppleScript applet "ICtoPCExchange" would also help.

After you've installed QuickTime 3, if you run ICtoPCExchange it will
copy all the 3-letter associations in Internet Config's Helpers section
to your PC Exchange Preferences, so that you can enjoy the same level of
translation & compatibility with PC disks as you do with Internet
downloads.

If you want it, e-mail me and I'll attach a compressed copy of it (file
size = about 68K).
