when you have a file on your computer and you click on it and it says something like, what program do you want to use to open this file??? look at the properties of this file by right clicking on it, and it will tell you what the file extension is and that way you can identify it, so you can actually find it in dos to open in the way I previously mentioned in the earlier e-mail. Just find the mapped path. usually these are encrypted system files, but not always.
