Just what I needed to solve my problem, thank you very much.

I'm fairly sure you can just just right-click on the .reg file and select 'Merge' from the context menu. Saves going into regedit. (You can definitely do this in XP; I'm not sure about earlier versions of Windows.)

This helped me a lot. Even with the merge option, it would open ina notepad. Thanks!

Thanks alot for sharing this!!!!
I was stuck for a week

:D thx heaps time
will always go on your site if i need any comp help
:D

Thank you so much for this extra-handy tip!

This was a very good trick. The problem topic discussed was very helpful for me. Computer is such a field where we see several things in front of us in screen but never give importance to explore them.
The sites like this one can really do some concrete lighting on the vasting of the knowledge on the unexplored topics....

that was easy. thanx for the info

Superb and concise. If only u cld take on all my problems which are too numerous too mention

But what if you have two scenarios, such as...?
1. Open With > Open With and nothing is there to use
or
2. the Merge command is absent

The only option for me is to open regedit and import the new entry. I'd like to return to its original setup.
