NFO Revealed
Many a times you download some archive files with some 'nfo' file with it
And when you click on this nfo file some system information window opens........
STRICTLY OF NO USE
You can try a freeware "DAMN NFO Veiwer" which is a light weight tool for veiwing the content of NFO files which are generally instructions on how to use the downloaded archive....
This may of great use if you are not getting how to use your archive in a optimum way without mistakes
You can find the tool at :-
http://www.damn.to/software/nfoviewer.html
or try
http://softpedia.com/
NOTE: NFO files are not only 'System Info File' but also can be used as 'Text File'
Visit: " http://filext.com/detaillist.php?ext...&Search=Search " for getting a clear picture

Re: NFO Revealed
//Tutorial Start
Right-click >> Open with notepad.
//Tutorial End
Why do we need an extra installation?

Re: NFO Revealed
Hey! If there is a NFO at the root folder of the archive, Proggies like WinRAR display it as a split screen in the Archive Window. You dont even need to extract the nfo and view it in notepad.
