Manual edition of the Windows Registry

If our system cannot cope with the .DBMANIFEST extension and all the automatic and semi-automatic methods to teach it have failed, we can only manually edit the Windows registry. This register stores all information about the operation of your operating system, including file extension associations with programs to support them. The REGEDIT entered in the window "search for programs and files" or "run" for older versions of the operating system, gives the access to the registry of the operating system. All operations performed in the registry (even those little complicated for the .DBMANIFEST file extension) have a significant impact on the operation of our system, therefore, before any modifications, make sure that you have a copy of the current registry. The section important for us is the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT . This manual shows step by step how to modify the registry, specifically the entry in the registry that contains information about .DBMANIFEST file.

Step by step

  • Press the button "start"
  • In the window "search for programs and files" (in older versions of Windows this is called "Run" ), type the command "regedit" and then confirm the operation by pressing "ENTER". This operation will start the system registry editor. This tool allows you to not only view the existing entries, but also to modify, add or delete them manually. Due to the fact that the Windows registry is essential to its operation, all operations performed on it should be done carefully and deliberately. Reckless removal or modification of the wrong key can permanently damage the operating system.

  • Backup copy. It is extremely important to make a backup copy of the registry before making any changes to it. Every change affects our PC. In extreme cases, incorrect registry modification may result in not being able to restart the system.
  • The value you are interested in concerning the extension can be edited by making manual changes in the keys assigned to the .DBMANIFEST extension found. Here you can also create your own entry with the .DBMANIFEST extension if there is no such in the registry. All available options are listed in the context menu (right mouse button) or in the "Edit" menu after placing the cursor in the appropriate place on the screen.
  • After finishing editing an entry for the .DBMANIFEST extension, close the system registry. The changes made will come into effect after rebooting the operating system.
