Ryan,

Copy the contents to a notepad and save as REG file ("ext.reg") and double-click it.

Exclude the lines - start from "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00"

-------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell\open\command]
@="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"

Include the line "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" as well. Use this script.

I had tried to put this in a file and name it ext.reg, but when I double click on it I get an error message that says
The specifide file is not a registy script. you can only import binary registy files from within the regestry editor.

Here is what I had in that file.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.\shell\open\command]
@="%SystemRoot%\\system32\\NOTEPAD.EXE %1"
