Other programs besides the intended ones can also use the .cyg extension to create files. This includes potentially harmful programs or malware that may generate .cyg files for various purposes. Be especially cautious with .cyg files coming from untrusted or unknown sources.

Can't open a .cyg file?

When you double-click a file to open it, Windows examines the filename extension. If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize an extension, you receive the following message:
