cant open nfo files

[nawlej]

I am unable to read any of the *.nfo files that I get with programs. I always get this error message that says "it may be corrupted or an unrecognized version. Can anybody tell me why that is. Do I just need to use a different program to open them or what?

These are text files mostly

Right click on the file and choose open with Notepad. These are usually info on how to install etc.

Ok Nfo Reader is a great programme but if I can read it with notepad, why should I load another programme.

I guess you can always associate *.nfo files with notepad.

Well,Nfo reader converts files you receive with download and it's iconspicuous.It's less than have a meg in size too. It opens nfo and .diz files.They are easy to find because of the icon.Click and open,easy.

Add the QuickView Option to All Files (All Versions)

If you ever wanted to add QuickView to the context menu of all file types, it may be a tedious task doing so using Windows Explorer's Options - File Type window. This tip shows how to do it in a couple of easy steps.

Open your registry and create a sub-key called QuickView under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*].

Change the (Default) value of the new sub-key to equal '*'.

Close the registry and open an Explorer window. Right-click on any file and the QuickView command should now appear.

Settings:
Key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\QuickView]
Name: (Default)
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value: *


found this on one of my travels--opens darn near everything
