Associating itself with .abw?

Is there any way to get Portable AbiWord to stop automatically associating itself with .abw and .zabw files? I keep deleting the association, but it comes back every time I launch AbiWord. I don't particularly like the idea of having files associated with a transient application--especially since the drive letter of the USB drive may change over time, even on the same computer.

Whether it's fixed within AbiWord itself or not, I have a fix in the works for the next release.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

How'd you fix it without modifying the AbiWord distribution?

The only problem is, there are several problems.
