Python Drag-and-drop Broken

I recently installed pywin (I had to change a registry entry to do it, but I changed it back). I also uninstalled Python 2.7, and since then, I can no longer drag and drop files on

Solution 1:

I poked around in the registry and fixed it by doing the following things (not sure which were necessary and which weren't)

First, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.py and make sure the value is set to Python.File

Then go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\Shell\Open and create a key called "Command" with

"C:\Windows\py.exe""%1" %* 

as its value. I did the same to CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\py.exe\open\command

Then go to CLASSES_ROOT\Python.File\ShellEx and create a key called "DropHandler" with

{86C86720-42A0-1069-A2E8-08002B30309D}

as its value. that value is the CLSID of a DLL that gets the filename of the file you're dragging and runs it in command, I think?
