[python-win32] Anyone else have windows context menus fail to register w/ 2.5/210?

I noticed the "Edit" context menu option in Windows Explorer was
opening an older version of pythonwin. I re-ran the pywin32 210
installer to see if it would patch it up, but no dice.

I can hand-correct these of course, but shouldn't it be working out of
the box? Flaw in the installer?
