Right click the registration file then click "merge" in the list that pops up. To keep this from happening in the future with this and other registry files You can right click the file then click on "Open With" then in the list that pops Up select "Registry Editor" and at the bottom of this window put a check in the Box labeled "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file." Then click OK 73 de Tony, KD4K My weather web site http://www.kd4k.com/ My Ham web site http://kd4k.com/radio.html Sawnee Mtn.

When I double click my registration key, Windows opens it with Notepad, and all I get is a text file with the registration key contents. How can I disable the Notepad opening so I can get my key into the registry when I double click? Tnx. ________________________________________________________________ Sent via the WebMail system at mail.firstate.net ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dxbase at mailman.qth.net
