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 on windows 10 and I have Paint associated to some image file extension, e.g. *.png.

The same thing happen if I associate the png to something else and right click->open … 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

I found an old file of mine and I’m wondering if someone could identify its extension and help me open it.
