How to open CFG file
The CFG extension is inherent to computer configuration files that are used by a huge variety of applications. Information in some CFG files contains the default configuration and settings of the program. The information is often just a plain text, so you can open and view the file in the main text editor. Nevertheless, users are not recommended to make changes to CFG files.
A CFG file is a common configuration file, in which configuration information is stored. Different files with this extension can store data in different formats. CFG files are not normally used by users for personal purposes, but can be easily opened in a text format that you can view in Notepad.
Some files with CFG extension are also created when you change the settings of a specific program. For example, if you change the interface settings for an application, it will create a new CFG file in its folder to save these parameters.
CFG files containing plain text usually contain data on different lines, consisting of a pair of variable values. CFG files are common for computers running on Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac. Linux devises usually use CONF files for such purposes.
