What program is associated with .DAT files?

shadowdr · Mar 28, 2004

I have Nero 6 installed.It also has Nero show-time that has taken over association of .DAT files.I cannot find a way to uninstall just the Nero show time(even though I don't want it).I have no idea what program usually opens these .DAT files but i cannot access any of them like ntuser.dat.How can I revert to former associations?

Normally, DAT is unassociated. You can change associations with the registry, but I'm not exactly sure how....

DAT files store data, some programs use them, there is not one program that has control over them.

I was afraid that was the answer i would get.

Kazaa uses .Dat files when in the process of downloading a file

It is not going to harm anything, you can just leave it....

in a normal windows explorer window, click on tools, folder options, one of the tabs is file types, scroll down till you find .dat and then unassociate.
