1. Download another program.

Different file extensions work with different programs, and it can be difficult to figure out which program opens which files. Here are a few programs that usually work with DCF files:

  • Taskmaster Batch Pilot Form
  • D-Lib Generic Bytecode
  • DRM Content Format Delivery File
  • Disk Copy Fast Floppy Disk Image
  • WordExpress2.0 Dictionary
  • DisCryptor Encrypted Archive
  • Disk Image File
  • DynSite Configuration File
  • HP-95LX Datacomm Configuration
  • ProWORX Nxt Database Configuration
  • Design Rule for Camera File Systems File
  • Dyadic Data File

You can download one of these programs from the software developer’s website.

2. Look at the file type.

The file type can sometimes tell you which program might open the file. If you have DCF files, they are most likely types of Encoded Files. A program that works with Encoded Files should open DCF files.

Don’t know the file type? You can find it by right-clicking the file and selecting “Properties” or “More Info.” The file type will be listed under “Type of File” or “Kind”.

3. Check with the software developer.

Try contacting the developer of one of the programs mentioned above. They can help you figure out why your DCF file won’t open. Some of the most common developers are listed below.
