I can open the note pad but what do I do from here? There is no information only symbols etc??

Rod · 1 year ago

In Vista, I don't have any problem opening NFO files that accompany downloads however, all they ever contain is my own PC system information.

Andrew · 1 year ago

Thats not what is in the nfo tho, thats what comes up when it doesn't open peroperly. open it with notepad like it describes above and you'll find that something totally different opens! ;)

Bollox... It just pops up "Access Denied.

Gogu Ologu · 11 months ago

if you have total commander installed then click on .nfo file to select it then press F3 or click the button F3 View. The file will open in a window. In that window press the key S to switch from ansi to ascii. Click the key A to switch back to ansi.

Someone from the Lithuania · 6 months ago

very thank you!!

dc · 6 months ago

I don't understand why people don't just export it as a .txt file if that is all you can get when opening in notepad? It's much more coherent when you do so.

Why can't you open it in the System Info Dialogue? What's the purpose of having the "open" option?

thanx, works just fine

UFV Student · 5 months ago

thanks. the idea worked but I had to first go to notepad and then open the .nfo file from the "open" browser because notepad wasn't on the list of other programs

Bunghole · 5 months ago

If you use Windows 7, you have to go through the Control Panel, and find Default Programs, and then click "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" .

Then go down the HUGE list of file types, 'till you find: .nfo (& follow the above instructions)

=D

bornhacker · 3 months ago

Well its nice but there is another way to open a nfo file.
Simply... rename the file as ".txt" instead of ".nfo" by right clicking on d file & now open it... here u go...its that easy.....
