Many file associations are lost. Need to replace the entire subkey
HKLM\Software\Classes with another previously saved subkey. The replacement
was saved via Save Key from a backed up hive that was previously loaded and
unloaded in regedt32. Although I'm Admin, regedt32 is not giving me
privilege to do Registry > Restore on the Classes subkey with the previously
saved replacement.
Note that Load Hive is unavailable on selected subkeys; you can do it only
at the root of the HKLM tree.
So my workaround idea is to try to convert the extensionless subkey file
(Classes) into a .reg file and then import it. Is there a way to convert a
registry file into registry script file (.reg)? Note that I tried simply
putting a .reg extension on the Classes file, but when I double-click on it
a popup error states that it's not registry script. I've also tried opening
the extensionless Classes file with Notepad via Open With, but the Notepad
window doesn't show registry script.
