The file extension usually consists of 3 or 4 character string. It is always located after the last dot in the filename. On the basis of the file extension we can define what type of data is encoded in the file (what file format it is). To see the extensions of all the files on your computer, you must do the following:
1. Enter My computer> Tools > Folder options
2. Click View
3. Uncheck the option Hide the extensions of the file types..
File extensions in the FileHelp site database are divided into categories, as well as sorted alphabetically. So use the alphabetical list located above, or select a category from the menu. To locate the file, you can also use the search engine.
You will find a list of programs at our website that will help you work with the extension needed. We also find a hint where to download a specific version of the application. However, we do not collect applications on our servers, so direct download of the applications is not possible.
