Is there one way to open unknown files?Dsn File Viewer View
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. DSN) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
