Set windows 10 certificate import wizard as default when opening files
I used nexus personal as default to open .p12 files. I want to reverse this and open this filetype with the certificate import wizard. This is the default option when opening (doubleclicking) a certificate: A new window appears and you chose where to install it. But I can't chose mmc or the certificate import wizard as default program to open .p12 files with. I can start mmc manually and import the certificate, but that's not an option to work with for our clients.
Does anybody know how this works?
Solution 1:
- File Properties → Opens with: → Change...
- More Apps → Look for another app on this PC
- File name: → Change Programs to All Files
- Select:
C:\Windows\System32\cryptext.dll
Merging the following into the Registry will auto-recognize .pem
extensions as certs:
-
CLI:
Reg Add "HKCR\.pem" /t REG_SZ /d "CERFile" Reg Add "HKCR\.pem" /v "Content Type" /t REG_SZ /d "application/x-x509-ca-cert"
-
PEM-Association.reg
:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pem] @="CERFile" "Content Type"="application/x-x509-ca-cert"
