Hello Hill,

Each file extension has to many unique locations to have a manual section for them.

You can download the. reg file, and change the file extension from. reg to. txt. You can then open the. txt file to see and make the changes manually in the registy if you like, but I would not recommend this unless you are familiar with using regedit. One mistake can give you results that you would not want, or toast Windows 7.

Hope this helps,

Shawn
