Re: Reg File Association of Reg File

Hello Mcowley,

Double check to make sure that the file extension type *REG* is se
with a Current Default program of regedit in '*_Default_Programs_*
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/69...-programs.html). You ma
need to browse to it's location at *C:\Windows\regedit.exe* to selec
it. Afterwards, see if the REG file will work for you properly

Hope this helps
Shawn
