Change default program for opening .vbs files

Question

I've accidentally changed default program to open .vbs files to Visual Studio.

Now I want to change it back to "Microsoft Windows Based Script Host", but the check box to "make it default" is disabled, how can I solve this?

Solution

Use this REG fix.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.vbs]
@="VBSFile"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VBSFile\Shell]
@="Open"

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.vbs\UserChoice]

Copy the above lines to Notepad, and save it with .reg extension. Double-click the file to apply the settings. If that doesn't help, here is a REG fix that can help.
