Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has run across a utility that will identify a file's originating application if it doesn't have a conventional file extension like .doc, .xls, etc. I've found utilities that will find the app if the file has a recognizable extension, but not if it doesn't. I've got to believe MS imbeds something into their files to indicate what the file was created in.

I know that Mac files have a filetype and creator id on them so no matter what they are called, you can find out what type of file they are.

Anything similar for Windows?

Thanks!

Sally
