.MQ File

The mq file extension is associated with the Microsoft Windows, an operating system for IBM-PC compatible computers, servers and tablets.

The mq file extension represents memory-mapped files where Windows messages are stored.

The mq files are used by Windows Message Queuing (MSMQ) technology that enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may be temporarily offline.

Default names of *.mq files:

r000000x.mq
p000000x.mq
j000000x.mq
l000000x.mq

The MQ files are stored in MSMQ storage folder.

How to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .mq file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
