.BFC File

What is a .BFC file?

A .BFC file is a Briefcase file created by Microsoft Windows. Briefcase was a feature introduced in Windows 95 that allowed users to synchronize files between different computers. BFC files contain copies of files that are stored on the user's computer, as well as information about the status of those files on other computers.

Briefcase was deprecated in Windows 8 and is no longer supported in Windows 10. However, BFC files can still be opened and used in older versions of Windows, and there are also a number of third-party programs that can be used to open and convert BFC files.

To open a BFC file in Windows, simply double-click on the file. Windows will open the Briefcase window, which will show you a list of all the files in the briefcase. You can then open the files in the briefcase as usual.

If you are using a newer version of Windows or a third-party program to open a BFC file, you may need to convert the file to another format, such as ZIP, RAR, or PDF. There are a number of online and offline file conversion tools that can be used to convert BFC files.

Here are some tips for using BFC files:

• Make sure to keep a copy of your BFC files on a safe and reliable storage device, such as an external hard drive or cloud storage service.
• If you are using BFC files to synchronize files between multiple computers, make sure that all of the computers are using the same version of Windows.
• Be careful when opening BFC files from unknown sources, as they may contain malware.
