Webloc file-Can't open

[bm]

I get a number of file addresses from friends which cannot open because the
programme is unknown
An example is ' Webloc'
How do I find out the programme to use?

In news:ey5D%23MigK...@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl,
bm <Dar...@aol.com> typed:

Your friend/s sending you the files would be the best ones to ask since they
created the files. You would need the same program or a viewer if they're
available, to open the files.

According to Google:
The WEBLOC file type is primarily associated with 'Finder' by Apple Inc..
Similar to .URL in Windows, the .WEBLOC file in Mac OS X contains a URL
which, when clicked, opens the default browser in OS X to the URL.

So, if you're running windows, I don't know of any application that will
open the files for you but there may well be something available. Again, ask
those sending them to you; they are likely to know.

Then you'd need Safari, Firefox, or Seamonkey installed to open such files.
