nice demo

I hadn't bothered following the Class ID paths before.

note for foxit users (I'm a new one), and contrary to the example at the end of nikos' blog:
the .pdf extension becomes  FoxitReader.Document
with persistent handler CLSID={3C3DCD30-E62D-49a4-A746-039334AFDE59}
and then to its add-in {89BCB740-6119-101A-BCB7-00DD010655AF}
with value={987F8D1A-26E6-4554-B007-6B20E2680632}
which key then names the Foxit iFilter .dll as
C:\Program Files\Foxit Software\Foxit PDF IFilter\pdffilt.dll

all in all rather neat, even if the path seems convoluted.
