MIME type problem with .REG files

Server Config
1

Hi,

I guess I have a MIME type setting problem in my server. When a user downloads a .reg file, the file is recognized as a .mp3 file, and the system opens it automatically using WMP.

How do configure the Apache server so that .reg files are treated as plain-text files and the “Save as” download is shown when clicked on a .reg file link.

Do I need root access in my server to modify this setting?

Thank you.

Ram,

That would be the AddHandler text/plain .reg statement.

Hi DK,

Can you tell me where and how do I add that setting? This subject is completely new to me. :slight_smile:

Ram,

In your .htaccess, use the line

AddType text/plain .reg

Note that I’ve changed from AddHandler to AddType.
