Since the only way to restore the saved configuration is by opening it in
the K3 Utility "Restore K3 Configuration From...", the fact that Windows
does not know what to do with files of this type is unimportant. The
.K3Config file type that it is given ensures that it will not be mistakenly
opened (and more disastrously, edited) by another application. Just start
the K3 Utility and open the file from there. If you change the file type to
something else when you save it, or by renaming it afterwards, it won't be
found when you try to restore it.
The saved configuration is a plain text file and it can be opened in
Notepad, in case you want to see what it looks like, but there is nothing
useful - and quite a lot of harm - you can do to it in Notepad, so this is
really not a good idea.
