Notes about the GED file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The GED file type is primarily associated with 'GEDCOM Family History File'. Use any program that tracks family histories. The GEDCOM file format is a standard format for family history files.

Cannot access GED files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open GED files", this means either:

A. You need to identify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

run a free scan for registry errors.
