No, you need administrative privileges to register the file types on a PC.

This is a PL/SQL Developer limitation, not a PC / Windows limitation. Since Windows Vista a user can have his own file type handlers configured, that override system-wide settings.
There's no good UI for this in Windows, but an administrative user can set system-wide settings as well as personal associations by altering HKLM and HKCU registry branches.
It'd be nice if the PL/SQL Developer could let the user choose if he want's to set system-wide settings (only when admin privileges are available) or personal settings.

If we don't have admin privileges I don't see that a third party application is going to be much use. (I can't even open that page from my office.)

As I wrote, you do not have to have admin privileges to alter your personal file type handling registration (unless you are on Windows XP, 2000 or NT).
The fact that the PLD does not have a UI for it and that Windows does not have a good UI for it, does not mean that the feature is not there. Although I've never used that third party application, I suppose it provides the missing UI. And I can visit its web page without problems.
