Hello there,

Today, I noticed that when 'am going to install a .reg file I get this odd message.
This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel.
I knew that this problem it is more common with .exe files and not with .reg files.
In any case, are there any ideas in order to solve this issue?
I know that I can import the .reg file from the "regedit" but is there another solution?
Thank u in advance,

Best regards,

Aris,

Edit: I downloaded REG File Association Fix (Restore default associations for REG files) and I imported them from start -> run -> regedit - but is this a proper solution or it has to do with spyware the whole issue?

Scroll down till you see REG - REG File and select.

Where you see "Opens With" if nothing is there or regedit isn't listed click on "Change".

If regedit isn't listed on the open with menu that opens click on "Browse".

Cheers lad, already fixed.
I also did a scan, with Spyware Doctor, just in case.
