Notes about the HIV 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 HIV file type is primarily associated with 'Windows' by Microsoft Corporation. This is the on-disk format for the Windows registry (hive). You should not attempt to edit this file directly while running Windows. Serious damage to your installation could be done.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it

B. Or your registry may be damaged

run a free scan for registry errors.
