What is a WND file?
How to open WND files
You need a suitable software like Command & Conquer: Generals to open a WND file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your WND file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a WND file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

WND file format:
To view or edit WND files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the WND files:
The WND file extension is rather rarely used and covers a large number of different file formats. But the following two file formats are common:
- 20% of all WND files start with the bytes INFOWNDS, which are crucial for this file format. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are 34 KB to 690 KB in size, with a median of 120 KB. The file type is relatively new. The following keywords are characteristic: INFOWNDS and L01-00000F00. The following filename is common: info.wnd or info_new.wnd. Files like these have the following tags: infoabb.
- 15% of all WND files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "FILE_VERSION" at the beginning. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. A typical file size is 200 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. ENDLAYOUTBLOCK, FILE_VERSION = 2;, STARTLAYOUTBLOCK, WINDOW, WINDOWTYPE = USER;, SCREENRECT, LAYOUTSHUTDOWN = [None];, LAYOUTUPDATE = [None];, LAYOUTINIT = [None]; and UPPERLEFT. An example of a file name is MainMenu.wnd or ControlBar.wnd. Such files are related to menu, control, game, options, ingame, select and popup.
All the rest of the WND files (65%) have different formats, frequently e.g. WND and ENABLEDCOLOR. Tagged as wind, veter or turb. If you want to find out what your WND file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
