DAT files aren’t necessarily from one program and that’s why it’s a bit hard deciphering the best way to open them. How to Open Dat FilesĭAT files are so common in emails that I wrote an entire post just about opening. As shown above, several different programs can open the NRG file and FileExt doesn’t clue you into that fact. Skip the blue sections as those are ads and it’ll give you a short paragraph with more details on the program that is used to create those files.įileExt doesn’t give much more info beyond that, so that’s why I listed it second. NRG is a CD-image file created by the Nero application. This is important because it’ll tell you what kind of file the extension is associated with. To search for a file extension, just use the Google Custom search box at the top of the site.Īt the top you’ll see the file extension and also the file type.
I’m not a huge fan of FileExt because it’s got a ton of ads blended into the content to try and confuse you so that you install software to speed up your pc or scan for registry errors.
This is mostly what people are looking to do when they are searching for a file extension, so FileInfo puts that info front and center. The best part, however, is the fact that it tells you which programs can open files with that extensions on Mac, Windows and Linux.
