Notes about the CSV 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 CSV file type is primarily associated with 'Comma-Separated Variables'. A comma delimited file is a database exported into a format where each record is a single line and each field in the record is indicated by a comma. Where necessary (e.g., if the field has a comma in it) the field will also be quoted. If you have Excel, use the import feature of Excel to import the file. Specify comma delimited format as the import format. Then export to whatever format you require for the data. You can also usually import this format directly into most any database program or spreadsheet program as well. This file type is often associated with Microsoft Excel as this is one of the standard ways to transfer data into and out of a spreadsheet.

Cannot access CSV files on windows?

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

A. You need to identify 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.
