How
To Register Files
INTRODUCTION
Registering files is a rather simple task.
Missing/unregistered file errors can occur any time, not
just when you’re executing a new program. Sometimes
certain microsoft libraries can become unregistered when
installing and uninstalling a lot of software.
REGISTERING THE FILE
In this tutorial I will register “comdlg32.ocx” as an
example.
1) Once we have our file we need to
navigate to our C: drive.
2) Double click the icon, navigate to the
“windows” folder, and double click on it
3) Now scroll down to the “system” folder
and open it.

4) Copy the ocx/dll file you want to
register and paste it into the system folder.

Comdlg32.ocx file pasted inside
5) Now close all your open windows,
and click the start button in the lower left corner. Then
click on “Run…”
After the dialog box opens type in "regsvr32.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FILE_NAME”...
Since I’m registering “Comdlg32.ocx” Mine will look like
this
“regsvr32.exe C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Comdlg32.ocx”…without the
quotes.

entered.
6) Once you have everything
entered…hit ok. If the commend is correct you will be
prompted with a RegSvr32 dialog box stating the file was
registered successfully. |
