Regedit for Corrupted EXE File Associations

How to Open Regedit for Corrupted EXE File Associations

It can be difficult to open REGEDIT, or to even import REG files. To work around this, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager. Once there, click File, then hold down the CTRL key and click New Task (Run).


This will open a Command Prompt window.


Where the Cursor is blinking type REGEDIT.EXE and press Enter.

You can also open the command prompt window by going to Start /Run and type in cmd.
