How to open RGU file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RGU file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Remember to download programs supporting RGU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Mobile with RGU files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RGU file still does not use the Windows Mobile program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RGU file with the Windows Mobile program.

Step 3. Update Windows Mobile to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Windows Mobile program with the Microsoft Windows Mobile Registry Entry file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RGU file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to RGU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RGU file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected RGU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RGU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RGU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file RGU except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RGU file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the RGU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RGU file again. However, some background programs may block the RGU file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
