One should be aware that running the security vulnerability feature will change two entries in the registry without as much as a 'by your leave' :)

The two keys are:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command and...

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\scrfile\shell\open\command

In each case the original values are replaced with NOTEPAD.EXE "%1", this means that a .reg file cannot be merged or a script file run.


This is probably ok for security purposes, but these entries need to be changed back to the original if for example wanting to merge a reg file.

The original values are: regedit.exe "%1" and "1%" /S

Edit, I suppose I meant a .scr file not script file
