Associate specific file extensions with my delphi app - any library for this?

So far if I had to associate the file extension with my application I used to simply modify the registry. However I haven't been doing it for years, and I'm afraid the things might have changed a bit.

Visual C# 2010 Express keeps File Handle after Debugging

After debug, in about 90% of the cases I can't rebuild my solution, because VS keeps the file handle of the old .exe (can't copy the new exe from obj\Debug to bin\Debug). I know that it's VS's file handle for sure, since I checked it with the Unlocker Assistent. Also, I tried the workaround with calling the default namespace the same es ...
