File Extension OSD

File type: Configuration File

Notes about the OSD 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 OSD file type is primarily associated with 'Directory Opus' by GPSoftware. Directory Opus goes beyond the simple file manager metaphor, and offers you a complete replacement for Windows Explorer and many other utility programs for handling FTP, ZIP, viewing files and images, running slideshows and more. In Directory Opus 9, all configuration is now stored on disk in XML format (except the file extension is .OSD).
