You can view the .reg file with Notepad. Highlite the file with a *single*
mouse click, then push down on the shift key and right click the file.
Choose "Open With" from the drop down menu, and then "Notepad" from the
next menu. Don't check off "Always use this program to open this type of
file" or you won't be able to get the .reg file to actually change the
registry by double clicking on it.
