Trying to install a .reg file and it opens with notepad. Anyone know the .exe file to use? explorer.exe won't do it.

Also, right click the reg file, and then click MERGE. Krystyna

Thanks for the reply Krystyna, but it was misset to open from the wrong .exe file.

Hi per Having a reg file open in Notepad is a good idea...it's a safeguard against indiscriminate and accidental changes to the registry. Then if you still want to run with the reg file, right click and MERGE is easy. Krystyna
