About this tag
The nfo tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about opening and viewing .nfo files in Windows. Users often encounter issues where the default program association for .nfo files is set to System Information instead of a text editor like Wordpad. The tag includes troubleshooting steps for changing the default program or using the Open With dialog to select an appropriate viewer. Common solutions involve manually browsing for Wordpad or other text editors to open .nfo files, which are plain text files containing system or application information. The tag is relevant for Windows 7 and later versions where the default behavior may differ from older operating systems.

    Windows 7 Open .NFO file

    I wanted to open an .nfo file in Windows 7 so I did what I did with XP... I right clicked on the file, went to "open with..." expecting to see a whole list of programs so I could pick Wordpad and, guess what... it's not there. Not only is Wordpad not there, but nothing is there. My only option...
