You just double-click any .reg file, and it'll prompt you whether you
want to add it to the registry. You then press Yes, then OK.

This is to distribute with Pd-extended so that newbies don't have to
figure out how to load libraries in order to use patches that rely on
them. Currently, I maintain a Mac OS X and a Windows file. I think
its fine to do it this way, it just uses the existing preferences
system. The .pdrc would be a OS-independent way ;).
The env vars that I mentioned would all me to replace "C:\Program
Files" with %ProgramFiles% which would work on Windows for any
language. For example auf Deutsch, its called "C:\Programme".
