.dir file

[JackMartinEF]

If a file has the normal Windows logo and has .dir after its name. How can I open it and what can I open it with. Because inside I think there is a Quicktime video somewhere.

That is a directory file.

You obviously didnt read my post. Its got the age old Windows logo like a system file. I wanna know how to open it.

I did read your file.

It is a system directory file.

The .dir extension means it is a directory file.

If you don't believe me, look it up on google.

Next time do not accuse me of reading your post when I did.

dir File

Purpose

Describes the format of a directory.

Syntax

#include <sys/dir.h>

Description

A directory is a file that contains information and structures necessary to define a file hierarchy. A file is interpreted as a directory by the system if it has the S_IFDIR file mode. All modifications to the structure of a directory must be performed under the control of the operating system.

The directory file format accommodates component names of up to 256 characters. This is accomplished through the use of a variable-length structure to describe individual directory entries. The structure of a directory entry follows.

Note: This structure is a file system-specific data structure. It is recommended that file system-independent application programs use the file system-independent direct structure and its associated library support routine

Ok Im sorry. I thought you were just saying it was a Folder. So how do I get it open to get stuff out of it?

You could try opening it in the dos command prompt.
