Ouch! That looks like another variation on a bug of which we've fixed at 
least two variations to do with reading mimetypes from the Windows 
registry. Can you see what the following code produces, please:

<code>
import winreg as _winreg

hkcr = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, "")

with open("classes.txt", "w") as f:
     i = 0
     while True:
         try:
             ctype = _winreg.EnumKey(hkcr, i)
         except EnvironmentError:
             break
         else:
             f.write("%s -> %r\n" % (type(ctype), ctype))

         i += 1

</code>
