Expand Check, the .reg file has been accidentally associated to open another program you can try to fix this with this command line Reveal hidden contents Open your CMD as admin, copy and paste the lines below in your CMD assoc.reg=regfile OR this was suggested by someone in a forum discussion Reveal hidden contents 1.Right-click on .REG file and select "Open with -> Choose default program" option. It'll open "Open with" window. Now look for "Registry Editor" program in the given list. If you find it, select it. 2. If you don't find the program in the given list, click on "Browse" button, type %windir%\regedit.exe in file name text box and click on "Open" button. If you don't want to type the whole path, you can go to C:\Windows folder in browse dialog box and there you'll get regedit.exe file to select. 3. Now make sure to select the checkbox "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file" and click on OK button. That's it. It'll re-associate Registry Editor with .REG files and now whenever you'll try to open a Registry script, it'll directly merge the data into Windows Registry instead of opening the file in another program if this doesn't work, let us know, and we make other suggestion for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudboy Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Uh. I thought you said it was a .reg file. What exactly are you trying to open, and why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexionline Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 On 4/29/2020 at 10:48 AM, vefiyo said: not working. Expand From what I notice you are trying to open rarreg.key which is a .key file not a .reg file Registry scripts have .reg file extension and when you run them (I presume that's what you wanted ) Windows merges their data into Windows Registry. Otherwise,you can open easily your rarreg.key by clicking <<Open With>> and choosing Notepad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 @vefiyo By the way, let's say that .key is not a Windows file extension, you've probably got a fake rarreg.key file from home craftsmen. They uses that extension, the original rarreg key file don't has such an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
