Click once on the file so that it is highlighted........

Then hold in shift and right click on the file.......

On the menu there should be the open with option.....

Then you can choose either notepad or wordpad to edit with....

Try this.. save it as cmdfile.reg and run it.

If that works and you need the other shell registry entries just ask.

red house thanks but i do not have those entry's

[red_house]

This is the correct reg entry for "Open With" if you want to check it against what you have - you can always create the entry.
