Jamin4u Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 When using the "Registry Integrity" cleaner, my back up file is not saved as a .reg file. I must enter the .reg extension after my chosen file name, or rename the file after it is created with the .reg extension. Doing this enables the right click merge option. This has automatically been done in 1. versions. I am using 2.03.532 Windows XP Home and Vista. Thank you for all your hard work and excellent software.

Jamin4u Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hello, I'm just wondering if this is on the list of bug fixes. CCleaner works so well for me that I've never had to use the merge option to restore the registry. It may be confusing for some users that are not aware of the work around.

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted November 29, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2007 The backup not showing as a reg file is a file association problem and not CCleaner. I have tested it out. Make sure you have ADMIN access when attempting to fix the reg file association problem.
