File Extension URL

File type: Internet Location

The URL file type is primarily associated with 'Internet Location'. Generally, this file extension won't show up even if showing file extensions is the default setting on the system. A number of different browsers will attempt to capture this file extensions depending on which browser you set as your system default. To see the contents of a URL file open a text editor and drag the file from explorer onto the open text editor window. Note: This file type can become infected and should be carefully scanned if someone sends you a file with this extension.

When windows gives you an error message saying that it
"Cannot open URL files", this means either:

A. You need to indentify a program that can open the file
B. Or your registry may be damaged

In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
