This makes no sense; a .reg file means nothing to Visual Studio.

But all i want to do is execute it... not create one. i know how to execute it from C:/ but i'd like it rather not because then my program won't work unless someone has the file in their C:/

That makes no more sense than your original question.

You've blundered into something and you think you found "a solution". NOT.

Go back and read up on "Installing / distributing my application" for your particular project / program / language.
