Windows 10: Is it possible to change (Default) value with a .reg file?

I am trying to change (Default) value of "Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command" to easily edit with Krita.

Actually, I did it manually, but when I try to create a .rig file of it to run after format etc. It doesn't work.

This is what I created.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command] "(Default)"="C:\Program Files\Krita (x64)\bin\krita.exe" "%1"

Where do I making mistake? Help appreciated

Is that possible to APPEND something to a string value by a .REG file?

Hello,

I am trying to modify my registry and I want to APPEND something to the value of a key, like:

modify

[some\path\to\a\key]

"key_name"="original_key_value"

to

[some\path\to\a\key]

"key_name"="original_key_value appended_key_value"

using a .REG file.

Is that possible?

Thanks dear community contributors.

 

Change the default action for .reg files

Sounds like a reasonable thing to do. Even though it warns you twice before it merges the changes, it can't hurt to set the default to be Notepad instead.

One way to accomplish this is shown below, but in testing I discovered that this takes away the merge option from the context menu. This means that if you want to actually import a reg file after doing this, you would have to open Registry Editor and choose
File > Import to do it.

1) Settings > Apps > Default Apps

2) Click Choose defaults by file type

3) Scroll down to the .reg entry and click it to change the default to Notepad
