Consider trying to open a text file in notepad, ms word, or with Windows media player for video and audio
 
Even genuine file types can cause problems. Namely, if you do not have the appropriate application to open a file then it is highly likely that you will struggle to open the file and view its contents never mind edit it. In some cases, though, it can be possible to use third party applications to view or preview files. This is especially true with media files such as images or movies.
 
Windows Media Player can normally be used to view images and videos and listen to audio. However, should you wish to change the contents of the files then you will need to have the appropriate application installed. In order to help out we have listed 50 of some of the more popular and common file extensions as well as details regarding the file type and how you can view and edit the files.
