What kind of file is *.nfo?

[Antoneo]

I have a *.nfo file and was wondering what that is...

 

[piku]

It's a text file. Open it in Notepad or similar.

It's directions on how to set up the software you just pirated. The serial number and any auth codes are typically in there. It's just ascii text.

 

[NogginBoink]

It's an msinfo32 file.

Actually it came with some mp3's (tv's greatest hits the flintstones/A-team?) .

open with notepad. You should see a tag of the group that released it, a description, the place it was uploaded to, etc.

w00t! That is the program I used to use. I lost it in a format and never bothered to try and find it again because I could not remember the name.
