Notes about the U 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 U file type is primarily associated with 'Nitpicker'. Nitpicker will write flows into a file when there are N flows in the savequeue. They are moved there after N seconds since the flowstart. The flowfile is called FLOW..U. At the end of a dumping period, the .U files will be renamed to *.S, and new .U file will be created.
