Generally files are associated with some programs which create them 
and you need some programs to open and read those files. Generally how 
to open a file? Answer is very simple install the program that is 
associated with the file extension then you open the file with that 
application, for example PDF file, you can open a PDF file either with 
Acrobat Reader or any other programs which are built to deal with PDF 
file formats. But think about those files which have extensions that are
 unknown to you, so how do you deal with those files. 
In this article I will explain several ways to open a file with an 
unknown extension. Sometimes you may come across some files with no 
extensions. So let’s see how to deal with all these files and how to 
open them. 
 
<h6>
Procedures to open a file with any type of extensions or no extension</h6>
 
With OpenWith.Org 
The first method here is using <a href="http://www.openwith.org/" target="_blank">OpenWith.Org</a>
 tool to find the program with which you can open the file. You can 
download the tool and install it on your system and whenever you come 
across an unknown file then just right click on the file and click on 
“OpenWith.org – How do I Open This?” which would display a list of 
different applications and link to download the application with which 
you can deal with the file. The list also contains some of the free 
programs that you can use for opening your unknown file. For more 
details on using the application you can visit this <a href="http://www.openwith.org/help/desktop-tool-instructions" target="_blank">link</a>. 
 
Try with WolframAlpha 
You can use WolframAlpha to study the file type. Go to WolframAlpha 
and enter the file extension in the search box with a dot, see <a href="http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.ppt" target="_blank">example</a>.
 WolframAlpha will reveal all the technical details of the file type 
like developer, MIME type, File signature and programs to open the type 
of the file etc. 
<img alt="Open Files With Unknown Extensions" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3824" height="579" src="http://img.jafaloo.com/2011/12/Open-Files-With-Unknown-Extensions.png" style="border-color: black; border-image: initial; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; vertical-align: middle;" title="Open Files With Unknown Extensions" width="574" /> 
 
<h6>
Dealing with files with no extensions</h6>
 
All files have a signature which differentiates the files from each 
other, so a file with extension .txt has a different signature than that
 of a .pdf file. File signature is stored in the file 
itself while creating the file. There are lots of programs available 
which can read this file signature and can determine the file format and
 also shows the list of applications which can open the file. 
One of such type of application is <a href="http://mark0.net/onlinetrid.aspx" target="_blank">TrIDNet</a>
 which is most popular among file analyzer applications. You can 
download and install this application and use it to analyze your files 
without any extensions. After analyzing the file it displays the details
 of the file with a related link which can give you more details of the 
file and associated application to open it. If you do not want to 
install the application on your system then you can use the <a href="http://mark0.net/onlinetrid.aspx" target="_blank">online TrID</a>
 file Identifier. I found this online application is more convenient to 
use. What you have to do is upload the file and click on the analyze 
button and it will display the report in no time. Refer the below image 
from the online tool. I uploaded a png file after removing the 
extension.

Posting your blog posts to Facebook automatically, 2014

There
 are several applications you can use to feed blog posts to Facebook.  
Each one displays the posts on your page’s wall, so that everyone that 
‘likes’ your page will also see your posts in their newsfeed.  Some 
tools provide the option to create a separate ‘Blog’ tab on your page 
and some allow people to subscribe to your blog and give you user 
statistics.

<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<h2>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-977" height="112" src="http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/help/files/2011/04/f_logo.jpg" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px;" title="Facebook Logo" width="112" /></a>Why should I add my blog posts to Facebook?</h2>
<ol>
<li>Increase your readership. Facebook will increase the number of people who see your blog posts.</li>
<li>Maximise your effort. Automating the process saves you time.</li>
<li>Adds more content to your Facebook Fan Page.</li>
</ol>
<h2>
Before You Begin</h2>
Some considerations before setting up:

<ul>
<li>Will you be sending too much content to your Facebook page?
 Having too much automated content can look lazy and might cause people 
to ‘unlike’ your page if you crop up too much in their newsfeed. If you 
publish blog posts frequently (3 times a day or more) then think about 
this next point.</li>
<li>What kinds of blog posts do you want to appear on Facebook?
 It can sometimes make your page look less appealing if all the 
information on your wall has come from one place. Instead, you could 
choose to tag certain blog posts with a ‘Facebook’ tag and just send the
 feed for that tag to your Facebook page. You could use this alongside 
Facebook’s link, video and event sharing features so not all content 
comes from your blog.</li>
<li>How much of your blog posts do you want to show on Facebook?
 If you want to direct readers away from Facebook to your actual blog 
then you don’t really want them to be able to view complete posts within
 Facebook; perhaps just a title and a snippet of text.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Methods for Adding Your Blog Posts to Facebook</h2>
1) Facebook Notes 
Facebook’s in-house blogging application. Works reliably with 
no branding/marketing but does display the posts in their entirety. 
Generates an RSS feed which people can subscribe to outside of Facebook.
 No stats on subscribers but interactions with Notes within Facebook is 
reported via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/insights/" target="_blank" title="Facebook insights">Facebook Insights</a>. Probably the biggest downside is that you can only import one RSS feed into Facebook notes.

<ul>
<li>Log in as your page (Account > Use Facebook as page)</li>
<li>Go to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes.php" target="_blank" title="Facebook notes">www.facebook.com/notes.php</a></li>
<li>Click ‘Edit import settings’</li>
<li>Type in full URL of blog RSS feed</li>
</ul>
2) Networked Blogs [App Error as at the time of this post] 
One of the applications we currently use on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/IbbjimohNE" target="_blank" title="LSE Careers Facebook page"> IBJTech Facebook page</a>.  Getting
 it set up is a fairly complex process but once this is done it seems to
 work really well. Allows people to subscribe both within Facebook and 
externally and provides stats on subscribers. Creates a ‘Blog’ tab on 
your page but doesn’t display full posts – all links take users to your 
blog itself.  Option to post blog to Twitter too. Facebook posts contain
 some branding.

Whilst all of these applications display one image included in your 
blog post, Networked Blogs can display a small screenshot of your blog 
with any posts that don’t contain images which can ensure your blog 
posts always look a bit more appealing and eye-catching.

<ul>
<li>Visit <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/">apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/</a></li>
<li>Click ‘Register a blog’ and follow the on screen instructions carefully</li>
<li>It helps if you are the author/owner of the blog (otherwise you have to request permission the register it)</li>
<li>Repeat for each blog you want to post on Facebook</li>
</ul>
3) RSS Graffiti 
Similar to Networked Blogs in that you can feed more than one blog (or 
other RSS sources such as social bookmark feeds) to your wall with some 
branding and just a snippet of each post. However there’s no option for 
users to subscribe directly and getting set up is fairly complicated.

The ‘Wallpaper’ tab it creates is a nice idea and can be used as an 
effective Welcome page or landing tab. It groups and displays your 
statuses, shared links, featured blog posts and friends’ updates, but it
 can be glitchy and isn’t particularly well designed.

<ul>
<li>Visit <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/">apps.facebook.com/rssgraffiti/</a> and follow the instructions</li>
</ul>
4) Social RSS 
Similar to Networked Blogs and RSS Graffiti but benefiting from a 
quicker and easier set up and subscription options. However, posts are 
very long and contain lots of unnecessary ‘meta-data’ (publish date, 
source of feed etc.) and promotion of Social RSS’s other services.

There can sometimes be a significant delay between posting on your 
blog and the post appearing on Facebook. However this app is stable 
enough to be a good beginner’s option.

<ul>
<li>Visit <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/social-rss/tabsettings.php">apps.facebook.com/social-rss/tabsettings.php</a></li>
<li>Select your Facebook page in the ‘Quick Select’ menu</li>
<li>Fill out the online form with your feeds and desired settings</li>
</ul>
5) Involver 
The third party application developer <a href="http://www.involver.com/" target="_blank" title="Involver">Involver</a>
 make a wide range of free Facebook applications including an RSS app 
which you can use to feed your blog to Facebook, a Twitter app which 
displays your Twitterfeed in a separate tab, a Flickr app, document 
viewer which lets you display PDFs, Word Docs and spreadsheets on 
Facebook and Youtube app. Well worth checking out.
