Can't open certain filetype (mrimg)

I use Macrium Reflect backup software. When I create backup images of my computer it saves them on a network drive with the extension backup.mrimg

When I double click on a image file in windows explorer it mounts the image as a drive letter and I can look through the backup image like if it was a regular drive.

When I do it from inside XYplorer I get a messages saying failed to open. For some reason it does not like to open the mrimg files.

Any idea on how I can fix this?

Via a double click?

- Portable File Associations and use a script that calls reflect.exe to mount the clicked file

- analyze the registry to check how the registered filetype is opened and create the necessary entries
under Wow6432Node (probably described somewhere already)

Via context menu?
Try the 64-bit context menu of XY (it's an entry in the normal context menu when you right click such a file)

Apart from that: A user defined button with a script to mount it (left click) and to unmount it (right click)
The posted links contains the description how to use reflect.exe to do this

Yes. I didn't even know about that context menu. I will use that. Thank you
