    I believe this is not really different from the per-Machine case. For downmarker (which is installed per-User) I put this in the component which installs the application executable:

    <!-- associate .md file extension with downmarker -->
<ProgId Id="DownMarker" Icon="downmarker.exe" 
    Description="Markdown Document">
    <Extension Id="md" >
       <Verb Id="open" Argument="&quot;%1&quot;"
          TargetFile="downmarker.exe" />
    </Extension>
</ProgId>

    Or you can look at the full wxs file.
