Problem with receiving MP3-files from other users

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

Greetings,

This is a new "security" feature. Assuming you're using Windows XP SP2, you can disable this
by downloading and running the following .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/extfix.reg
You'll need to restart Messenger to see the change.

OK, I found the .reg-file ,but I don't know where to putit or what to
do with it? I have now only saved it to my hard disk to a download
directory for temporary files where it is waiting for the next action.
