OK, thanks.

Sorry, the forum software won't let me attach a .reg nor a .txt file.
Hopefully this will help...

OK, but you can paste the contents of the exported .reg file into this memo marking its beginning and end and it could be easily saved in Notepad by the end user changing extension to .reg. This would be feasible and indeed very helpful.

I created a .reg file from the lines that you gave, and have run it, but even after system restart it didn't change a thing. Obviously, more Registry branches are needed for the MR 32-bit file association functionality to be restored. I mean, that is, if you want to do it

Hi guys again! Here's a workaround that I figured out to see Macrium Reflect (MR) image backup icons as well as loading the Browse command by left double-clicking on the respective MR image file. XY offers here a great autonomous alternative to registering these files by the system in the 32-bit mode. Here's how:

In XY, start Customize File Associations under Menu Tools. Click New button to create a new customized file association (i.e., the one that will run from XY). In the line remove the pre-defined word New and enter the following value:

mrimg>"C:\Program Files\Macrium\Reflect\reflect.exe" -b

If needed, adjust the path reflecting your specific installation of MR. Parameter -b will load the backup file image browser.

If you also want to see the MR backup files with icons of MR, do the following:

In XY, start Customize File Icons under Menu Tools. Click New button to create a new customized file icon to show. In the line remove the pre-defined word New and enter the following value:

*.mrimg>C:\Program Files\Macrium\Reflect\reflect.exe

Again, obviously, adjust the path reflecting your specific installation of MR if it is different from the default path. If you would prefer a different MR icon than the one of its main EXE to be shown, you may individually extract more icons from the program's EXE using icon editing programs and set this path to one of them at the place where you have them on disk.

In previous MR releases, this worked in XY automatically without problems. But as of some short time back, it stopped working due changed MR installation settings, but this may be easily remedied by this small XY configuration adjustment.

It works great! Enjoy!

thanks! this workaround is working perfect and was easy to add. i adjusted the entry to also include MRBAK files as i have a few of those as well : thank you for posting your findings!

Glad to share my experience
