In this article I want to cover extensions to save files that represent various types of electronic documents used. More precisely, we discuss, EXE, SYS, COM, LNK and extensions of DLL files.
There is a possibility that one wonders what happens if you select specific application in Windows and restart. If you start some applications from the Start menu, what really happens is that Windows starts
Exe associated with this application. Exe stands for executable.This file contains instructions in machine language, which works as a computer and the result will be encoded in a functional application.
In pre-Windows world of COM extension file was very popular. Stands for the command file and is used by MS-DOS to use the file.
SYS file is eXtenson file system. It 'very frequently used by the operating system in order to save the parts of executable code. An example of SYS-CONFIG.SYS, which are used to store system configuration. Another example ispagefile.sys, the Windows swap file (disk dump of system memory) stores.
LNK is a file format which stands for LINK. This file connects an entry in the Windows Start menu with an executable file (EXE or COM files). Helper DLL contains system code that is used by applications for specific functions. File Extension DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library.
Each group contains a small executable commands, knows only the computer's CPU. It can decode these files using disassembler.But not for average PC users, to recommend to do this. Executable files are usually very difficult to see and could only be viewed and edited by professional software engineers.
If you can not open the executable file can be something broken in the Windows operating system. To check for problems that can be read by Windows documentation. Another option is the Windows registry errors. To check for errors in the registry, you can download the registry cleaner.
