how to open .file ext

August 4th, 2016

I d/l a game. i extracted the .rar file to get another .rar, file, then extracted a folder, which contained 30 smaller .rar’s. Extracted all those to end up with 30 .01 files. Used hjsplit to join them. Now im left with one file with the extension .file. I have no clue what program i would use to open it. Any help would be appreciated
Answer #1
Use Winrar instead..Those are compressed files that need to be extracted not joined..
Answer #2
If winrar chokes – it does on some .001 files – use 7Zip.
I recommend keeping winrar AND 7zip – install winrar and keep 7zip as portable or cmdline (so you won’t get too many menu items in win explorer).
Answer #3
winrar worked like a charm. Thank you and for your help.
Answer #4
Under Folder Options in Explorer, Always set options so it DOES show extensions of known file types.
Less chance of confusion then, I found ..
Also showing hidden files is useful for chasing things up.
Answer #5
Under Folder Options in Explorer, Always set options so it DOES show extensions of known file types.
That is THE most important thing of all – there are hundreds of viruses that come in becasue they are called
“BritneyBonking.avi.exe” but the “.exe” is hidden.
