Darrel,
I tried this out and it works beautifully.
I exported the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\5.0\Options\IntelliDrop\FieldTypes" branch that you identified to file 'Proj 1 Field Mappings.reg', Proj 2 Field Mappings.reg' etc. ie: each file contains the mappings I want for a particular project.
Double clicking on these files (through explorer/desktop) merges the contents into the registry (also works as you suggested by running regedit with the file as a command line paramater).
VFP picks up the new settings for the next drag-and-drop operation (I didn't even have to close the form designer for it to pick up the new settings!!).

Thanks for tip.
