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".
