Open ENC File

ENC files are encrypted files that are originally saved with the UUE format and then saved with the .enc extension by multiple progams that want to protect files from unwanted prying. Programs that do this include Adobe Flash and IBM Lotus.

Open ENC File on Windows OS

  • Look for an ENC file you need to open in Windows Explorer and double-click on it
  • If the file doesn’t open automatically and you see a “Windows can’t open a file” message then you should search for a program which can open ENC file
  • If you have a program which can open ENC file installed on your computer then launch that program and select “File” and then “Open” or similar options from its menu to open the ENC file
  • If you don’t have the program installed then you need to try searching for “ENC wiki”, “how to open ENC file” in the search engine.
  • Once you find the application, install it on your computer
  • After the program is installed double-click on the ENC file to open it

File extensions are used by Windows operating system to specify what kind of information is stored in the file. Every file in Windows OS needs to have file extension and file extensions are used by Windows to determine which application it should use to open the file. Every application installed on Windows OS places information about which extensions it could open into the Windows registry and Windows uses this information to determine which application it should launch when user double-clicks on the file. If application which can open ENC file is not installed, then Windows will show ‘Windows can’t open ENC file’ message and buttons to either select an application on the computer which can open the file or to search the web for the application which can open ENC file.

Open EMZ File

The meaning of the files with the .emz extension is the Compressed Enhanced Metafile. These files are associated with the Windows Operating System by the Microsoft Corporation. Basically, these files are the compressed files which are generally the image files. They are used by a number of applications from the Microsoft Corporation such as the Microsoft Office and Visio. These compressed metafiles consist of the data which is compressed using the extension .gzp, which is a type of compression algorithm.

Actually, the files with the EMZ are the compressed version of the files with the extension . emf. These files are also a type of the Windows Metafiles which use the graphics language to operate. The .emz files are the zipped files of the . emf extension files. The unzipping of this data can be easily done be dragging the .emz extension files to any of the zip-unzip programs and then by importing this data on to any text editor. Commonly, these files get imported as a single group instead of many individual objects.

So, what are the things to be careful about?

Sometimes, it so happens that the extension of the file to be unzipped is .em instead of the EMZ . If such is the case, then the concerned file should be first renamed to the .emf extension and then can be unzipped. The files with the .emz extension can also be easily unzipped with GZIP decompression utility programs like the GNU Zip or the WinGZip software. An advantage which the .emz files is that they are compressed, and therefore, can easily be transferred and distributed to different systems and users.

Other things to know about this type of file format

Once the decompression of the file with the EMZ is complete, the extension of the file gets automatically reverted back to the .emf format. The files with the EMZ format are one of the most commonly used file format types in the Microsoft Office applications. While opening a file with the .emz extension in a text editor like Microsoft Office, it is generally recommended that the file should be dragged to the software window and should not actually be opened with it. Another program which is associated with these files is Quick View Plus which can only open these files but not edit them.

Open DWG File

Well, this might be a relatively uncommon file name that few of us had to encounter or come across. So, what does this type of file format stand for? The files with the extension .dwg are related to the drawing software. The full form of dwg is drawing. These files are actually associated with the AutoCAD program from the Autodesk Inc. The .dwg files are primarily related to the two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawing structures which can be created with the AutoCAD program. This is profession CAD program, which can be used to view and access the contents of the files. Technically, the program contains the vector image data and the metadata of the file.

How does this file format come to use?

For the Windows operating system, the free Autodesk DWG True View Program helps to view the .dwg files. The contents of the files with the DWG .dwg are in the form of the .DXF format. This DXF format is an ASCII version of the .dwg file extension. The .dwg files are basically in the form of the binary format files. These are used to save and store the data and metadata structures.

These files with the DWG .dwg are the native files for a number of packages of the CAD program. Some of these are Draft Sight, IntelliCAD, Caddie and the most common one in use i.e. AutoCAD. There are other file formats also which are non-natively supported with the files of the .dwg extension. For example, the .bak files (which are used for the backing up of the drawings), the .dws files (which set the drawing standards), .dwt (the templates used for drawing) and .sv$ (temporarily saved files) are also the various types of .dwg files.

The latest CAD program to open, access and modify the DWG .dwg files was launched in 2013 as DWG 2013. The internal version of the same is of the type AC1027. These are used in the AutoCAD 2013 and AutoCAD 214 by the system. The Autodesk provides for zero-cost software to access the .dwg extension files. It is done through the Autodesk DWG True View software which also comes with the DWG True Convert software. Other applications which use the .dwg files are 2D Graphic, BravoDraft, Drafix Drawing, the Older Generic CADD Drawing format and the Pro/Engineer (drawing program) by PTC.
