If I don't know what a file does, but i think it might hold some kind of useful information that a program is reading such as settings, serial numbers, system info etc, I usualy use the application key on the file to choose 'Open With' and use WordPad. It usualy surprises me how much information is there.

I have a quick question. Does anyone know how to read the .dmp files (the jaws dump file)? What program can I associate with it to have it read? I'm reallycurious as to what information is in there. Why can FS read it and not allow us access to it? Thanks you guys. Tony
