Description:
The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG (Registry) file. Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt. REG files can be viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the default settings for the file extension indicated. For the ZIP file fix, the download is a REG file, since ZIP's aren't working anyway! |

The files listed here are all ZIP files, which contain a REG
(Registry) file. Download the ZIP and open it. Extract the REG file to
your hard disk and double click it. Answer yes to the import prompt.
REG files can be viewed in Notepad. Each of the REG files contains the
default settings for the file extension indicated. For the ZIP file
fix, the download is a REG file, since ZIP's aren't working anyway!
NOTE: If your EXE
file associations are corrupted, it can be difficult to open REGEDIT, or to even
import REG files. To work around this, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task
Manager. Once there, click File, then hold down the CTRL key and click New
Task (Run). This will open a Command Prompt window. Enter
REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.
Thanks to Nigel Andrews for this tip.
