    It is safe to remove .BIN from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?


    Lately I had some problems with file associations on .BIN file type. I was testing and I permanently removed .bin from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. I removed it too from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts but automatically it appears again. When I deleted those keys I restarted the computer. Everything was black, so I turned it off perforce. I started it again and fortunately everthing was normal. I noticed that the .bin file type is missing in file associations menu, but the problem I had at the start is solved. Can my system become unestable? If it does, what would I do?

    :)

    Is it safe to remove HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry?

    I wanna know if it is safe to remove the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry. Can It ruin windows or any software?

    I saw a tutorial where they mentioned about deleting the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, but I don't know if I should trust them.

    Hi André, do not remove the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT key, you will do serious damage to your System

    The main function of that key is to tell Windows all about the different files types on your system. What they are, how to open them . . . etc.

    If you delete that parent key, you will not be able to run programs, open files and your system will become totally corrupt, . . .
