That's Baloney !

DAT files are typically information files about a
particular function (of XP or a program or a service
or . . .) that describe its use and limitations.

Windows Picture & Fax viewer is for graphics files (JPG,
BMP, GIF, etc.)

Go to control panel, folder options, file types and scroll down to DAT
highlight it and read. Then go to www.filext.com and read. Then go to
www.videohelp.com. Then do a google search. Then, if you don't know what
you're talking about don't reply to posts.

You are both right. Dats can be anything. So don't slag each other off. =
If emma gave details all could make an accurate diagnosis. But she wants =
to talk hypothetically.
