Exploring a CD's Contents

To look at a CD's directory and files, you can usually just click on the CD Drive shortcut on the desktop. However, some installation programs are written to activate the autorun.exe file when users do this. In that case, go to the main Windows Explorer icon and look at the CD drive from there.

Once you're in the CD directory, you'll probably see files with all kinds of extensions, many of which may be unfamiliar.

You can look up file formats and the programs they go with at Google's Data Formats.
