File Extension List

New programs are constantly being created and it is important for our system to be able to distinguish what sort of file it is accessing. That is precisely what a file extension is for!

The data needed to select which software to utilise to open a file is read by examining the files extension. A files extension holds tips to the data format of the file and what kind of data it carries. A few of the most general file extensions include .exe for executables, .mp3 for sound, and .doc for documents. You may already be familiar with these common extensions but with the ever growing library of programs and operating systems there are many more that you might have never discovered.
