Issue: Double clicking the backup file (.RBK) does not automatically open the Liberty Restore Utility

Cause: The file association was deleted or not applied properly

Resolution: When you attempt to open the .RBK and get a box that says Windows cannot open this file. You should be given a couple of options.

In our case, we want to say: Select the program from a list, then click OK.
