Comment(by hamish):

 A couple quoting fixes around GRASS_PYTHON in r56927-9, but that's all
 start-up, nothing to do with file associations AFAICT.

 Tested most recent nightly build of grass7 (r56911) with those fixes
 applied by hand on a fresh install of XP (so no parallel installs of other
 python versions), seems to be working for me.

 Displaying a raster map, starting the carto composer tool worked fine for
 me, although an error I did see was the mapswipe tool complaining when I
 clicked the help button about `'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Help'`.


 If I do `echo %PATHEXT%` at a regular C:\> prompt outside of grass7 I have
 no .PY on the list, from a grass7 command line session I do. Do you have
 the same?

 also try:

  C:\> ftype Python.File
 and
  C:\> ftype | grep -i python
 and
  C:\> assoc | grep -i py

 from within the GRASS session and look for anomalies. (maybe compare with
 outside a grass session, but grep might not work without extrabin in the
 %PATH%)

 hmm, Raster -> r.mask

 but now restarting GRASS and restarting it works fine, so I'm not sure,
 maybe that r.mask error was just a temporary glitch(?).
