Have you ever accidently merged a .reg file while trying to open it in notepad. Use this and you will able to double click and open them in notepad.

To prevent REG files from changing the Registry on a double-click, open My Computer and choose View, Options. When the Options dialog box opens, click the File Types tab and then scroll to Registration Entries and select it. Now, click Edit. In the Actions list, select Edit and click Set Default. Now click Close and back in the Options dialog box, click Close again.
