Hi Jesper

Open the Registry Editor

Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on

Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSInfo.Document\Shell\Open\Command

Double click Default and set its value date to:

%SystemRoot%\system32\msinfo32.exe "%1"

Click OK

In the same tree, in the left pane, choose Default Icon

Double click Default and set its value data to:

%SystemRoot%\system32\msinfo32.exe,-10002

Click OK and exit the Registry Editor . . .
