TOY file format:

To view or edit TOY files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The initial characters of a file are called signature, sometimes also referred to as "magic bytes". The signature can be used to infer the file format. If the file extension does not match the file format, double-clicking on the file will cause an error upon opening. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. In the following you will find our evaluation of the TOY files:

The following filename is common: Default.toy or Accordian Crystals.toy. These files are often associated with accordian, crystals, crystal and vocal.
• 15% of all TOY files are based on the popular EXE file format. EXE is the abbreviation for executable and is the standard executable file format on Windows.
