Zero-byte .REG Registry File

Download a zero-byte .REG file, or one of about 1 KB, for QA. Neither file is a real document.

About this Zero-byte .REG file

What you get

empty.reg is 0 bytes. 1kb.reg is 1,024 bytes of filler text. Both use the Registry File name.

How to use it in QA

Attach either file where your product asks for a .REG file. Use the empty file for a zero-length check, and the 1 KB file for a small non-empty upload. The download names stay empty.reg and 1kb.reg.

Zero-byte .REG questions

What is inside the files?

Will an app open them?

Most apps will report an empty or invalid Registry File. That is the point of the fixture.

Is the download safe?

Yes. Neither file has an executable payload.
