    the obvoius (spelt wrong i know) way would be to read in that registry key to see if its what you set it to (ie read it into a string1, string2 being what you set it to, if string1 <> string2 then msgbox "file associations have chnged).

    The other way i can think of, would be the shell execute command of a file of that type and see if it opens in your app, but that would be awekward to do as your app would already be running.
