Another suggestion, probably a bigger task: Look for common native 
applications and write entries for them into the registry. For example, I 
manually added an entry for KMail in \\Machine\\software\\clients and now I 
can select Kmail as the default Mail application in the internet options 
control panel(Which is created when Internet Explorer is installed). My 
registry entries look like this:

[Software\\Clients\\Mail\\Kmail] 1100110998
@="KMail"

[Software\\Clients\\Mail\\Kmail\\Protocols\\MailTo] 1100110998
@="URL:MailTo Protocol"
"EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00
"URL Protocol"=""

[Software\\Clients\\Mail\\Kmail\\Protocols\\MailTo\\DefaultIcon] 1100110998
@="C:\\Program Files\\Opera\\opera.exe,1"

[Software\\Clients\\Mail\\Kmail\\Protocols\\MailTo\\shell\\open\\command] 
1100110998
@="\"Z:\\usr\\kde\\3.3\\bin\\kmail\" \"%1\""

With Z: mapped to /

I selected KMail as the default Mail application, and when I open an Mail 
Address in MSIE kmail pops up. The same happens when I enter a maito: address 
in Task Manager->New task. 

Cheers,
