So you just received an email with an attachment that someone sent you, but the extension on the file is .DAT . What exactly is a .DAT file and how to you open .DAT files ?所以你剛剛收到一封電子郵件，一個附件，有人給你，但延長對檔案。的DAT ， 究竟是一個。 DAT文件 ，以及如何向你打開。 DAT文件 ？ Those are two questions I’m going to try to answer as this is an issue that I’ve seen many times in my IT career!這些是兩個問題，我會盡量回答，因為這是一個問題，我見過很多次，在我的IT職業生涯！
The first thing to understand about .DAT files is that it indicates a file that has arbitrary data.第一件事就是要了解的問題。 DAT文件的是，它標誌著一個文件有任意數據。 That means it’s not associated with any one particular program or application.這意味著它的不與任何一個特定程式或應用程式。 When you see a file with a .XLS extension, you know it’s referring to an Excel file, and so on.當你看到一個文件一個。格式擴建工程，你知道這是指一個Excel文件，等等。 But with .DAT files, you have to figure out how to open it yourself and it may not be the same program each time.但隨著。 DAT文件，你必須想出如何打開它自己和它可能不盡相同，每個節目的時間。

The best way to open a .DAT file is to use the program that created it.最好的辦法打開。 DAT文件是用節目中創造了它。 However, if you’re not sure, you can always try Notepad.然而，如果您不能確定，你可以隨時嘗試記事本。 Now when you open it in Notepad, you may be able to recognize some of the data, but the rest will most likely be junk spewed out by the program that created it.現在當你打開它的記事本一樣，你也許能夠認識到的一些數據，但其餘的將最有可能成為垃圾噴出道道都是通過程序控制的創制。
You’ll normally only see this file format when receiving emails with attachments.你通常只看到這個文件格式，當收到帶有附件的電子郵件。 Most common programs today do not generate .DAT files and only computer programmers use these files on any kind of regular basis.最常見的節目，今天不產生。 DAT文件和唯一電腦程序員利用這些檔案對任何形式的經常性基礎。
So your first step would be to ask the person who sent you the email if they know which program was used to create the file.所以你的第一步將是想問的人，你發送的電子郵件，如果他們知道有哪些程序被用來建立檔案。 Now if they tell you that they actually sent a picture or a document and they are not sure why it’sa .DAT file, it could be that the file extension was changed in the process of having the email routed to you.現在，如果他們告訴你，他們其實是發出了一個圖片或文件，他們不知道為什麼它。 DAT文件，它可能是因為文件擴展名改為在這一過程中具有電子郵件發送到你。
For some strange reason, some email programs automatically change the file extension on email attachments to .DAT.由於一些奇怪的原因，有些電子郵件程式自動改變文件擴展對郵件附件的。的DAT 。 So if the person sent you a picture and now it’sa .DAT file, you first need to save it to your computer and then change the file extension to JPG or GIF or PNG or whatever you think it’s supposed to be.所以，如果某人發送你的照片，現在它。 DAT文件，你必須先保存到你的電腦，然後再改變文件擴展名，以JPG或gif或者巴紐，或是你認為它的企圖。 If they sent you a Word document, change it to .DOC, etc.如果他們派你一個Word文件，改變它。文件等。
You can change the file extension on a file by first going to My Computer, clicking on Tools and then Folder Options .你可以改變文件擴展名某個文件，首先是去我的電腦，點擊工具 ，然後在文件夾選項 。
Next click on the View tab and then scroll down to the option “ Hide extensions for known file types ” and UNCHECK it.下一步點擊看法標籤，然後向下滾動，以選擇" 隱藏擴展為已知文件類型 " ，並選中它。 In this way, we’ll now be able to see the file extension and change it to something else.這樣，我們就可以，現在可以看到文件擴展名，並改變它以另一回事。
Now simply right-click on the .DAT file and change the file extension after the dot to the desired file format. 現在只需右鍵單擊對。 DAT文件，改變文件擴展名後，點到想要的文件格式。
You should also see the icon representing the file change to the appropriate program use to open that file type, ie Excel in the above picture.你也應該看到，該圖標代表文件變化，以相應的計劃使用，以公開的文件類型，即Excel在上述圖片。
So what do you do if you’re not sure which program it came from or what the original file extension was supposed to be?那麼你怎麼做，如果您不能確定程序，它是來自什麼原始文件擴展名被視作？ You can also try right-clicking on the file and then choosing Open With and try different programs.您也可以嘗試右鍵單擊該文件，然後選擇打開，並嘗試不同的節目。 For example, I changed one of my Excel files to a .DAT extension and then right-clicked on it to open it with Excel and it worked!舉例來說，我改變了我的一個Excel文件到。日期延長，然後再右點擊它來打開它與Excel和它！
Now I just chose Microsoft Excel from the list and Excel was able to read the file since the data was written by Excel, it just had a wrong file extension.現在，我只是選擇了Microsoft Excel的，從名單和Excel能夠閱讀文件，因為該數據寫Excel時，它剛經歷了一個錯誤的文件擴展名。
You can also try other programs like Windows Media Player since it will open it if it happens to be a video, MP3, or similar media format.您也可以嘗試其他方案，如Windows媒體播放器，因為它會打開它，如果它發生在一個視頻， MP3或類似的媒體格式。 So hopefully you are now able to open your mysterious .DAT file using one of the above mentioned methods!所以希望你現在能打開你的神秘。 DAT文件使用其中一種上述方法！ If not, post a comment and I will try to help!如果不是，後一個評論，我會盡量幫助！ Enjoy!享受！
