.MCL File

File extension mcl is associated with Windows Media Center, a digital video recorder and media player developed by Microsoft.

The mcl is an application shortcut to the More Programs page, basically an XML file that specifies the path to what application to run, title, thumbnail to display, etc.

This mcl file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.

Files with mcl extension can be found as application shortcuts for Microsoft Media Center application that was a part of some distributions of Microsoft Windows operating system.

How to open:

When you double click on the shortcut, it should launch Windows Media Center. But only if you have it installed on your computer.

How to convert:

Shortcuts generally cannot be converted to anything else.
