hyperlink to reg file??

[Lisa]

Hi,

I want to make a reg file a hyperlink that I can run when I click on it - so
I want it to behave as an .exe with the run/save options. How can I do
this, I currently just get page not found when I click on the link.

Thanks,

Lisa

You can not run a .reg file from a hyperlink.
You can only download it.

That means the file is not on the server.

It is on the server, but when I had the file with xxx.reg I got the error
page not found, for now I have renamed it xxx.doc and now when I click on it
I can save it and then rename it to fix the extension.

Ah Ok.

Then that means the mime type for the .reg file extension has not been set on the server.
You're host would need to do that, unless you have a web masters CPanel as part of your
hosting package.
