You do not have to download anything first of all.
*.pif is a dos extension.
So, unless it is encrypted, you can read it. If it is encrypted, you will be
able to view it in it's encrypted form.
be careful though or you will delete something by mistake if you don't do it
right.
1--go to your dos prompt, (and I suggest you do this from windows using your
start menu, programs and not your system dos prompt, where you shut down and
then re-start at dos prompt, because if you are not familiar with this you
can mess things up in there.) Besides, from your windows prompt, you can use
your mouse and you can't from the system prompt.
2--type in edit
3--use you mouse and click on the first tab, which will be "file", and move
your cursor to open. This will open a new screen which on the left side are
files and on the right side are directories.
4--this is the tricky part, because if you are not in the correct directory
as the pif file, it will not open. So, what you will have to do is work only
on the right side until the directory is correct. So, first determine the
mapped path to the file and then in dos from this screen, re-create it.
Probably, the first thing is C, and then probably windows, and so on. If you
have a profile, you will have to use that. You will be able to view this
file this way, but you will only be able to read it if it's not encrypted.
If encrypted, too bad.
example. i created a file called hello.pif on my desktop. My path was:
C:\WINDOWS.0000\Porfiles\Jennifer\Desktop
It will not be the same for your's. Because first of all, I doubt your
Windows has the ext *.0000, so only look at this as an example. And when you
click C:, you then click ok, and then go back to the right side of the screen
and continue. But when you click C: the directory will start being displayed
on the top of the page, so watch this and you can tell.
5--when you get the correct directory, look on the left side of the screen
for the file you want to open. click on it and then click ok. The screen
you were working on will disappear and the file should open showing you what
is inside.
6--DO NOT JUST EXIT FROM HERE BY CLICKING THE X IN THE TOP RT CORNER OF THE
SCREEN. IT WILL ERASE THIS FILE IF YOU EXIT FROM THIS SCREEN INPROPERLY. TO
EXIT, YOU CLICK FILE AND THEN EXIT. THIS TAKES YOU BACK TO THE DOS PROMPT.
AND THEN YOU TYPE EXIT AGAIN AND YOU ARE BACK AT WINDOWS.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH DOS, DO NOT DO THIS FROM THE MAIN
SYSTEM DOS PROMPT, BECAUSE THE COMMANDS ARE DIFFERENT AND YOU GO THROUGH THEM
DIFFERENT, AND YOU MIGHT GET STUCK AND ERASE A FILE. BE CAREFUL. REMEMBER,
SOME FILES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE READ.
You can do this with any file in you computer, including the other extensions
you mentioned.
