What Kind Of File Is That?

27 August, 2007 (19:44) | Free Stuff, New User Tips

Sometimes you’ll see a file with an extension that you’re unfamiliar with.

Short Info About Extensions

(If you’re using Windows, and open a folder and don’t see the filename extensions, you can turn them back on. Have a look at the instructions on The File Extension Source for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 98 users.)

A filename extension is the characters after the last period (dot) in the filename.

Eg: mypresentation.pdf has an extension “pdf”. A filename of mydocument.august.doc has an extension of “doc”. Don’t worry about having 2 dots/periods in the filename — the extension is only the characters after the LAST dot.

One that might trick you: myfile.doc.exe is NOT a “doc” file, it is an “exe” file. Be wary of these in email attachments!

In the early days, Windows computer file names (under the DOS operating system) were limited to what was know as the “8.3 format” — 8 characters for the name, plus a maximum of 3 characters as the extension. At times the filenames could be quite hard to decipher without opening the file! Thankfully that’s changed nowadays (spaces in file names weren’t allowed before Windows 95. But spaces aren’t good anyway for files that might end up being linked online: as the unix file system treats the space as “%20″ — so my file.doc becomes my%20file.doc.

The computer uses this extension to “associate” the file with particular software programs you have installed. So, if you have a file with a “pdf” extension, and you have the free Adobe Reader software installed, when you “launch” the file or open it, the computer will open the associated program (Adobe Reader) and then open your file for display.

I Don’t Know That Extension!

Occasionally you’ll come across a file with an extension you’ve never seen before. There’s a great free website, called The File Extension Source, that can provide the answer for you. It works just about all of the time.

But not always!

For example, today I came across a file with the extension “.mgmf” — I searched The File Extension Source, but there was no answer. So I searched through Google, and eventually came across MindGenious — this a proprietary extension for mind mapping files.

Now I know!

So far in this section I’ve been talking about money making via content in some way — websites where you add in Google Adsense ads, your own information products, information products you can see via online marketplaces at a commission, even eBay sales… which all can be very lucrative, but do also involve a reasonable learning curve, time to devote to content generation or even auction listing management.

Sound too hard to acquire the technical know-how? How about another way?

An easier way?

Did you know you can make good money filling out online surveys sitting at home in your pyjamas?

Could you use an extra $300 to $1,000 a month? You can, by filling out online surveys sitting at home!

I couldn’t believe it either, but SurveyScout showed me how - and I highly recommend that you check out their website.

You’ll find out how to, for example, make $25 in 8 minutes, over and over again. Or how to…

  • Get paid to take phone surveys and you can earn as much as $120 an hour
  • Get paid to try new products (and keep the free products too)
  • Get paid to preview new movie trailers for $4 to $25 an hour

… and it doesn’t matter where you live, or who you are - you can do it too.
