Help about .reg

[dino87]

how can I make a file which will contain some text I want and will have extension .reg?

I've tried it in Notepad. I've just wrote sth (what makes sense), and saved it as .reg.

But, when I double click on it (in order to add it in windows registry),
I get the message:
cannot import c:\***.reg: The specified file is not a registry script.
You can only import binary registry files from within the registry editor.

How can I make it binary?

Are you trying to create a registry entry or just a text file with a .reg extension for some personal reason?

there is a certain script you have to follow in order for windows to add something to your registry. To see it, open the regedit and export a single registry value and then open it up in notepad, you will then see what it takes to correctly add something to the registry.
