Q: Abdel Guettatfi A: Select Start•Run, type regedit, and press <Enter>. Navigating the left pane as if it were Windows Explorer, go to the folder beneath My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes for the file extension you want to protect-for instance, My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.jpg. With that folder open, select Registry•Export Registry File. Give the file a name (jpg) and save it (see FIGURE 2). This won't back up the entire Registry-just the part with the .jpg association. Now, should any newly installed program decide that it's the one in which you want to edit your .jpg files, simply find the file you saved (jpg.reg) and double-click it. -Lincoln Spector |
