File extension unk information
File extension UNK works with the Discus professional program. The full name of the file extension is unknown. File extension UNK is used by the Discus group to make sure that any uploading of attachments is done in a secure environment. For the sake of security, it is not advisable for a person’s board to run on a server that is not secure thus allowing for the indiscriminate execution of CGI scripts. The file types of a person that are recognised are usually configured with a file known as attachment.conf file.
Cannot open unk files in Windows?
Not being able to open unk files in Windows may be a result of registry errors or not having the appropriate application installed. It is strongly recommended that you scan your computer for registry errors (free).Any documentation that can be used to customise the file that has been recognised by the user’s attachments.conf is usually located inside the file. If a user has any file type, whose MIME type is recognised by the file they are usually given the file extension UNK. This usually prevents the file from posing security risks to one’s server and prevents it from undergoing execution like script. Users are advised to be wary of the files that have the .UNK extension as they might harm their system. This especially goes to the attachments whose origin the user does not know.
