I'm not suggesting that you make it the default I'm just saying that you include it in the httpd.conf as

After that things worked fine. >Could this line be added to the configuration file commented out? This sure would be helpful and useful. Sorry, but absolutely not. A side-effect of registry is that the Open verb used if the ExecCGI verb isn't found. In conjunction with ScriptAlias, all of your readme.txt or other .txt files will launch a copy of Notepad and simply waste resources while generating no response. This badness makes defaulting to registry a really bad choice. If you are an admin aware of the issue, feel free to turn that feature on. We might consider enabling ScriptInterpreterSource registry-strict - which behaves the same as registry, but won't use the Open verb! It will only react by invoking the ExecCGI verb, which is really what we want it to do. With registry-strict, you are assured that .txt won't open notepad unless you tell it to do so.
