MWT file extension format:

If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the MWT files:

As a file extension, MWT isn't very common and includes different formats for different programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

30% of all MWT files are based on the Microsoft Compound File format, which is also called Compound File Binary File format (CFBF or CFB) or OLE2 Compound Document format. This file format is used by previous Microsoft Office programs and other Windows programs and stores the data in complex containers and sections. Header signature for the CFB format with 8-byte Hex value D0CF11E0A1B11AE1 (which looks like "DOCFILE"). The file contains several sections with names like BhcumqeaCqudbfo3EkrgfkbaBa. The files are often between 4 KB and 5 KB in size. The file type was developed only in the last few years.
25% of all MWT files use the same file format, which can be identified by the letters "[MetaStock for Windows*VL]" at the beginning. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are 8 KB to 12 KB in size, with a median of 9 KB. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. [MetaStock for Windows*VL]. The file name ADX.MWT or tower0.mwt is characteristic of these files. Such MWT files store data about advantage and template.

The remaining 45% of all MWT files are different files with different signatures, often e.g. EXE, LNK and ZIP. These files sometimes refer to microsoft, keygen or crack. If you want to find out which format your MWT file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .mwt file to analyze".
