I am having trouble while editing the registry to get a file type to open with a default text editing program. I have edited the registry following this post: https://superuser.com/a/1369178/972419.

However, after attempting to open the file, the correct program opens, but the file appears empty. When right click the file and using the open with option and selecting the same program, the contents of the file are available and editable also.

Is the file appearing empty because I'he committed some unknown error while I was editing the registry?

How do I get the file to open in the App in edit mode on double click?

In Windows, there should be a Control Panel setting called "Default Programs". It list files extension and the program associated with them. Find your file extension under this list and select it. Then select your program to open it with. You might need to find the file though as some executables are not listed by default so you will click "Browse..." and manually look for your executable that you want to handle said file extension.

Right click the desired file ---> Open with ---> Choose another app ---> (now before selecting the program that you want to use) check the box beside Always use this app to open .abc files. After that you can double click the demanded program (or hit OK) to let the certain file become permanently open with your preferred app.
