When I tried to get a BF2 Mod with .torrent I found that I could not force it to open in uTorrent. If you have this problem please read on.
Step 1: Press and hold the windows key on your keyboard, then press the R key. Type regedit in the box and press enter. Expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and delete .torrent and uTorrent (if you were running any other torrent clients delete the key in here as well). Exit out of regedit.
Step 2: Right click your torrent file and make it open with wordpad.
Step 3: Double click the torrent file and make sure it's opening in wordpad.
Step 4: Right click on the Desktop and go to New -> Text Document. Open the text document and copy and paste this into it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrent]
@="uTorrent"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.torrent\OpenWithProgids]
"uTorrent"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell]
@="open"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\uTorrent\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\uTorrent\\uTorrent.exe\" \"%1\""
Step 6: Exit out of notepad and rename "New Text Document.txt" to "fix.reg".
Step 7: Find a torrent file, right click it, and make it open with uTorrent again. (The uTorrent executable is located in "C:\Program Files\uTorrent\uTorrent".
Step 8: Double click the torrent file and see if it properly opens in uTorrent.
You can also do this with any other association. For instance if you wanted to make the default program for a .wav file VLC, do this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\shell]
@="open"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.wav\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe\" \"%1\""

thanks 4 the info..it's working now
I can't find any .torrent and utorrent key after expanding HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. I've been looking inside the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT file and files named as .torrent and utorrent, but I couldn't see any. Can you specify in which file those keys are? Thanks.
Big thanks !! :))
Fixed; thanks!
Still not opening torrent. Please help as uTorrent has been doing this for weeks and now no files work.
Thanks, bro :)
I have always tried to live by the philosophy that when there is a big problem that needs fixing, you should run towards it, rather than away from it. See the link below for more info.

Thank you! Been searching for hours and this solution only took me a minute!
Grtz from Holland!
Not working no matter what I do. I've followed your instructions, even experienced this problem someone else has had, and you never put a solution to their comment either.

It would be SUPER awesome if you could actually write some helpful advice, answer, some sort of response instead of ignoring questions like this where people like me and whoever that person is experiencing the same issues, so WE could be able to download and do what WE DO BEST TOO.
IT NEED TO BE NAMED fix.Reg with big R. and it works :)
thanku so much.. your article is so well explained... it helped in secs.
I’m impressed, I need to say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you might have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the issue is one thing that not enough individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very comfortable that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for one thing relating to this. gsn casino
