    Adding file extensions


    Hello Brink, Im so happy to come across this thread. Like Patrick I too have made an accidental change to some of my files. My file extension is an EDB file. It now wants to open with ADOBE and I need it to go to opening with window shell common.
    Could you add EDB to the file list?

    thanks

    Hello Rosi, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    If you like, you could download and merge the .reg file below to unassociate EDB files that should sort this for you.

    Brink,
    Thank you for such a quick response. I am mobile right now. I have saved it to my thumb drive and will run it this weekend on the computer which is at home. I will post my results.
    Again, Thank you for your time and the response. Have a great day!
