I created a reg file using task manager when I had Meschle's Touct 3.1 ROM installed because I needed to run a registry hack every morning to correct a registry setting change my Exchange server was forcing on me.

I've since moved to Meschles Vanilla 2.1 ROM, but there's no application associated with the REG files so my registry file won't load any more when I click on the file.

I've loaded both HTC and fpb Task Managers bu tthey don't associate the ".reg" file suffix.

I've installed Regedit, which associates the .reg files, but tha tjust opens the files for editing rather than running and loading the registry changes.

Can anyone advise what I need to do so that I can easily "load" my registry change ".reg" file again?

Thanks,
Graham

Hi there,

I use Resco Explorer with the built-in registry editor. It will solve your two problems in one: RE will let you 'associate' files so they open with an app of your choice, and the registry editor will let you import/export keys.

You could even put a shortcut to this .reg file in your startup folder so that after a soft-reset it would be imported again!

Hope this helps.
