Im sorry about this, i still cant see that reg file[/b]
Welcome to the stupidly "newbie friendly" Windows system. To be able to see the extention of the files in your folders, you need to look up in the menu of your explorer window and go in the options. Then, in the files tab, you need to find and uncheck the "mask the extention of known file type" box. After this is done, you'll see the extention of all your files.

Any person who knows what he's doing and wish to minimize the risk of executing trojans, viruses and malware programs unwillingly should uncheck that box the minute Windows is first initialized. Unfortunatly, Windows thinks it's a good thing to hide those things to you so you don't feel "overwhelmed" at the beginning... <_<

If you have any other questions, you can ask it here.
