File Database

[Ian]

To compliment the startup database, I'm in the middle of creating a Filetype database. There are loads of questions like "how do I play an .xyz file" or "how do I open .xyz" etc...

Just wondering if you think this would be a good idea, and what sort of information you'd like to see in it?

ian, good idea mate but someone else already thought of it.

best site i've found for file extentions - http://filext.com/

don't think you'll beat this one.

very useful when customers ask me what to do with a file with an extention something similar to "!"£$%^&*()OKITREDFVGH)(*^%$ER.

Ah, now that site does look good. This one will probably be a little simpler, for example covering movie file, compressed etc... filetypes with a bit of explanatory text.

That site is bookmarked now, nice find!
