But I am in need for some help!

I need to make a (.reg) that will when you click on it, change the icon on all files named (.qm) ine the (ex. hallo.qu), and make all files name (.qu) open wit a specific program!
(if don't understand me, please say so)

Can any one help me?
Thanks in advance,,,

you will have to find the correct reg entries for the icon and the open with... thing first

a reg file has a very simple structure and should be easy to make in VB
to see the structure, open any reg file in notepad

i created a .reg file using notepad. all you need is the right information in the notepad and the save as 'file.reg' heres an example of the code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ResearchMachines\NOATTRIB.VXD]
"loadvxd"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoDrives"=dword:00000000
"LinkResolveIgnoreLinkInfo"=dword:00000000
"NoFolderOptions"=dword:00000000
"ClearRecentDocsOnExit"=dword:00000000
"NoTrayContextMenu"=dword:00000000
"EnforceShellExtensionSecurity"=dword:00000000
"NoPrinterTabs"=dword:00000000
"NoDeletePrinter"=dword:00000000
"NoAddPrinter"=dword:00000000
"NoRun"=dword:00000000
"NoSetFolders"=dword:00000000
"NoSetTaskbar"=dword:00000000
"NoClose"=dword:00000000
"NoViewContextMenu"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"DisableRegistryTools"=dword:00000000
"NoDispScrSavPage"=dword:00000000
"NoDispAppearancePage"=dword:00000000
"NoDispSettingsPage"=dword:00000000
"NoAdminPage"=dword:00000000
"NoProfilePage"=dword:00000000
"NoDevMgrPage"=dword:00000000
"NoConfigPage"=dword:0000000
"NoFileSysPage"=dword:00000000
"NoDispCPL"=dword:00000000
"NoDispBackgroundPage"=dword:00000000
"NoVirtMemPage"=dword:00000000

(nothing bad in the reg code...just PART of the registry file which is ment to disable features of RM Connect)

the easiest way to make a reg file is to go into regedit and right click and export the section you want, it will then produce a .reg file
