Goto: Tools -> Folder Options and in File Types tab look for REG extension.
After selecting REG extension, click on Advanced button and select Merge in the Actions section. Then click on Set Default button.

No use, it is set to open in notepad with every action.

well to add an entry, you could have also right clicked on the .reg file and then clicked on "Merge" ... :razz:
