Notes about the RC 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 RC file type is primarily associated with 'Compiler Resource File'.

This file is often used by compilers to hold program resources for the compile process.

A number of different compiler makers (e.g., Borland, CodeGear, etc.) use this file type and it's even common across operating systems.

Cannot access RC files on windows?

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