I have an animation (gif) in a .flh extension. It’s being used by a game I’m rebuilding. Unfortunately, I cannot find any way to open it. I tried VLC Media Player and Gimp and was looking for a software as well, but didn’t find anything. I’m on Windows 10. It appears it’s an FLIC Animation … Read more
I have two accounts A and B on the same windows 7 machine. I log into account A and open a program (this happens in multiple programs, not only 1 specific program). I click on “save as” and choose “01.01.2017” as filename. The resulting file is of type “2017” since no .txt is appended. I … Read more
At times, I get emails with files that have an unknown file extension (for example .x-y-z). Because this extension is unknown to Outlook (and virtually everyone on the planet), I can neither open the file nor preview it without first saving it and then opening it. The content of these files is always text based, … Read more
I’m using Notepad++ (v8.1.3) with the Steen-Hultin ReStructuredText add-in. My problem is that I need to use it with the extension .rsts as well as .rst, and it doesn’t work. I opened userDefineLang.xml in the Notepad++ config files and found this: <NotepadPlus> <UserLang name=”reStructuredTxt” ext=”rst” udlVersion=”2.1″> <Settings> lots more stuff </Settings> </UserLang> </NotepadPlus> It seemed … Read more
I’m on windows 10 and I have Paint associated to some image file extension, e.g. *.png. Since a recent update (either 1809, build 17763.475 or slightly earlier) when I double click a png file, it is printed rather than opened. The same thing happen if I associate the png to something else and right click->open … Read more
I have an anaconda installation in windows that I think used to be able to run python scripts with shebang lines like: #!/usr/bin/env python print(“hello python”) at a prompt without typing “python” (I say “I think” because I’ve run through a few installs lately … but I routinely use this functionality). I believe this requires … Read more
I have a .zbd file with sensitive information on it. I have downloaded the ZoomBrowser from Canon, it does not recognize it as a file. I downloaded the Zebedee Secure Tunnel, but that just creates a tunnel, and is not a file viewer. I have downloaded a number of free file viewers, but none seem … Read more
As far as I know, in Linux filename extensions don’t have any special meaning to the operating system. It helps users to identify the file, of course, but the OS itself simply does not care about it (right?). I’ve heard that this is not the case in Windows, but I don’t really understand – does … Read more

Every single file type is selected in my indexing options for my Windows 10 PC. Only some of them are selected to index file contents as well, but they’re all indexed at the very least with file properties. Most of the file types I don’t recognize, don’t use, and don’t plan to search for. Are … Read more
