Notes about the RTF 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 RTF file type is primarily associated with 'Rich Text Format File'.

Also used as Windows Help file script.

Often a system will be set so Word opens when an RTF file is encountered.

Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension.

As of August 2007, spammers have started to attach RTF file messages to E-mail. When opened you see the spammed message. This is similar to the XLS, PDF, and other similar spam techniques.

Cannot access RTF files on windows?

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