File extension ext information
The file extension EXT is used by the application Norton Commander as part of the file management package that comes with the Norton Commander. The application is used to manage a number of file attributes in a text-based environment. Thus, it is very popular in operating systems like DOS and Windows 95 that still widely use the command-based interface to perform file management. This environment gives a user more flexibility in file management. In addition, features not accessible in the graphical interface can easily be accessed in this environment.
Cannot open ext files in Windows?
Not being able to open ext files in Windows may be a result of registry errors or not having the appropriate application installed. It is strongly recommended that you scan your computer for registry errors (free).File management using Norton Commander takes on a rather orthodox style. It acts as the text user interface in a DOS environment. The file application has however become obsolete and has been replaced by the Norton Desktop. There are 2 variations of the Norton Desktop, one for Dos and the other for the Windows graphical interface. EXT files allow the Norton Commander to display a directory tree and a set of other options that greatly improve the way configurations and file management is done. In addition, a set of commands are available making the process quick and efficient.
