Hello Peter.

It sounds as though your .reg file type has been changed as well. This is somewhat common since some administrators will disable the ability to import registry changes.

You can try importing the registry file from the command line and see if that works. Open a Command Prompt window and navigate to the folder where you saved the .reg file that you downloaded. It can be imported using REGEDIT from the command line.

regedit FixVBSFileAssociationsXP.reg

You can repair your .reg file associations with one of the files below. You’ll likely need to import it as I’ve shown you above.

FixREGFileAssociationsXP.reg
FixREGFileAssociationsVista.reg

As for your error message, see my post “There is no script engine for file extension” error when opening .vbs files.

Followed instructions. Tried to run a VBS Script and got the following error message:

Windows Script Host

There is no script engine for file extension “.vbs”"

The clicked to download the fix for XP that you provided but when I ran it, I just got a few lines of code in Notepad and the reg file didn’t run.
