Thanks for help!

I have installed libwebkit-1.0-2.dll and update-mime-database.exe(from 
shared-mime-info-0.70) in directory C:\WebKitGTK-1.1.15.3\bin and put 
their mime directory in C:\WebKitGTK-1.1.15.3\share

Created environment variables:
   XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=C:\WebKitGTK-1.1.15.3\etc\xdg
   XDG_DATA_DIRS=C:\WebKitGTK-1.1.15.3\share

Run:
   update-mime-database.exe C:\WebKitGTK-1.1.15.3\share\mime

But local files still cant be opened. Did i miss something and what?
