Notes about the BIF file extension:

Errors in your registry are one of the common causes for incorrect file associations on your windows system. It is highly recommended that you check your registry for file association errors (will also check for any other registry errors).

The BIF file type is primarily associated with 'BioWare Infinity Engine' by BioWare Corp.. This is a simple archive format, used both to simplify organization of the files, as well as to group together entire areas. Some BIF files are grouped together because of common functionality; for instance, all the .DLG files are gathered together into a single BIF file in Planescape: Torment. Other BIF files, such as AR4800.BIF represent the entirety of an area's terrain (i.e. not its containers, actors, or items). The file is often indexed by .KEY file. The program WinBiff is a tool to extract data from these files. This file format is used by many different games. It sometimes comes with a .BIFF file extension.

Cannot access BIF files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open BIF files", this means either:

A. You need to indentify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

RECOMMENDED:

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.

WordPerfect (Binary Information File) by Corel CorporationWordPerfect for Windows 6.x used a binary information file (BIF) for storing information. The BIF file was prone to becoming corrupted, and was less capable than the Windows 95 Registry, so starting with WordPerfect for Windows 7 under Win 95, WordPerfect itself no longer used the BIF file. Instead, it stored settings information in the Windows Registry. Later versions of PerfectScript still included commands to write to and read from a BIF file.
