file definitions

[Dan]

Does anyone know of a website that has a search to determine what any file might be used for?
(i.e. a certain .dll file would have a specific purpose, or any other extension...)

i use http://filext.com/
as for what a specific dll does, that site won't be able to help you out.

Do you mean what extentions are associated with certain progs?

Here's something I found a while back; it's in german, so it's been translated into English, but not too well. But, for what it's worth, here it is:

And Translated: http://translate.google.com/translat...utf-8%26sa%3DG
