Hello sgopus,

Thanks for your post.

I am sure you didn't mean to be rude when you said 'someone has identified
them with an improper file extension'; the inference perhaps being that it
might be me. I can assure you that I have not changed the file extension,
nor has anyone else. I am the only user of this PC.

I was hoping to find out if any installed program that I have might have
caused such changes. I do run Iola Software System Mechanic Ver 7.0 This
is
supposed to auto clean and keep my PC in good shape, including regularly
backing up the registry etc.

As I mentioned there are many examples of such files on my C drive, and
though I cannot be sure, I don't think all of them are system files.

In the example that I gave, in the folder that I quoted, I do have the
file
ntuser.dat which I took to be the appropriate system file.


There could be several different apps that access the same file type...
so when you installed your apps...the associations were probably made there.

You can re-associate as desired...but
if your system is working ok as as...I'd just leave it alone.

There are some file associations you would not want to change!
