| .nfo files are essentially a ms-text document with the extension 'nfo' at the end. get it? nfo....info. hehe. open them up w/ wordpad. |

| I think they give information (info..nfo) on the track they come with. They can be opened in Wordpad I think so you can look at the info which usually includes the ripper, release information, etc. |

sometimes double-clicking on them doesn't help, windows will say the file is corupt. either rename it to .txt (which will not affect it in anyway) or open the Word editor and with it the file.
they're pretty useful files, especially when U get cracks or carcked software, it helps U figure out what to do (I've seen a lot of pirated software, with various ways of installing, and sometimes intelligence is not enough, U also need some "hints") |

oh a quick shortcut is hold down shift and right click on the .nfo file and you'll see an "open with" dialog. Click on it and get it to run in notepad. Voila!!
BTW that can be used for any files so u can force an mp3 to open in a different program etc etc |
