Set "Edit" as default Action



You always get a lot files from internet or other sources. If they are in .vbs or .reg extension and you make double click on them then they will simply modify your settings which may be harmful because you have “open” or "Merge" as default action. You don’t have chance to check on it. There is a trick where you can set “Edit” as your default action so when you make double click on .vbs or .reg extension files, they will open in edit view. So, you can check what is story inside those files and then you can open them with help of right click.


Copy-paste following text in notepad and save it with .reg extension. Then just merge/run it.

For .reg file extension:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\Shell]
@="Edit"

For .vbs file extension:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell]
@="Edit"
