Hello Alexaurus, and welcome to Vista Forums.

The Merge function allows the .reg file to be merged (basically Copy and Paste) into your registry and replaces the current registry entries with the ones from the .reg file. It's a way to make automatic changes to the registry instead of manually making the changes.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Keep in mind that there are no such words used as QUOTE "Stupid anything" We are all learning about this operating system and the knowledge we all share is what is important. I do not feel that anyone will look down on someone because they need help! I know I need help in many aspects of Vista and I am not ashamed to admit it!

Hello Austin, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You can also double click on the .reg file to merge it. If it opens to somthing link notepad instead, then check to make sure the the .reg file extension is set to have it's "Current Default" set to Registry Editor (C:\Windows\regedit.exe) in Default Programs (METHOD THREE). Afterwards, try to merge it again.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Re: ZIP File Support - Restore

I figured out why i could not merge it. I was using google chrome which for some reason downloaded it as a .download not a .reg and all i had to do was change the file affiliation

Shawn:

Excellent tutorial with clear easy to follow steps, including the screen shot. I followed the steps precisely and the problem is solved. When I click on zipped files from an internet site, they open automatically, as they did before the link apparently separated. Great solution! Thank you so much.
