uninstall and Windows file associations

[Roger Miller]

When I installed Python 2.5 (on Windows XP) I left 2.4 in place "just
in case". Today I decided to remove it. However after doing so (from
the control panel) I found that Windows no longer knows about the
Python file types and associations. Is this behavior expected, or was
there something wrong with my installation? Is there a way to restore
the file associations, short of reinstalling 2.5 or manually editing
them?
