Notes about the W32 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 W32 file type is primarily associated with 'Compiler'. This extension is used when interacting with various Windows compilers and build systems. It is ofter seen as Makefile.w32 which is often a makefile for building C# programs with Microsoft's .NET tools. Also when talking to the Windows build system you see config.w32 which is written in Javascript and used on Windows servers. It is also used by Gigabyte's EasyTune as markfun.w32 and often causes problems due to Windows permissions. This should not be confused with the W32S extension which is actually a group of DLL files and other files that allow some programs originally designed for 32 bit operating systems (like Windows 95, or NT) to run under MS Windows 3.1x. Because the Win32 program is described as an extension some people get confused by this.
