Notes about the NFO 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 NFO file type is primarily associated with 'Folio' by Fast Search & Transfer (FAST). Folio produced Infobase documents starting back in the days of MS-DOS. These documents became popular in government circles and were often passed out at trade shows along with a viewer. Folio, the company, no longer exists and NextPage has taken over their assets. In 2003 NextPage issued a press release saying they released a Folio-to-XML conversion program. However, the bottom of their home page indicates that they sold Folio to FAST. FILExt found no NFO tools on the FAST site.

Cannot access NFO files on windows?

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open NFO 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.
