The customdestinations-ms file is a special type of file associated with the Microsoft Windows 7 Jump List feature. This file, specific to Windows 7, enables users to quickly and easily access favorites, recent items, and other program information from within the Start Menu. Unlike most other file types, customdestinations-ms files do not contain user data per se, instead they act as shortcuts used by the operating system that can link documents, websites, music, and other types of data.
File Extension Details
A customdestinations-ms file has an accompanying Microsoft Windows Jump List icon with a white flag-shaped icon. This Windows 7 Jump List feature provides quick access to recently accessed and frequently used documents without having to open windows or folders. The file is automatically created when a user uses a program for the first time and contains various pieces of data including file attributes, the most recent time the document was accessed, and programs that have been recently used.
This type of file is not intended to be opened manually since it consists of machine readable strings rather than human readable text. Instead, it is strongly recommended to leave it as-is and not modify it in any way. Other related file types include .automaticdestinations-ms, customJumpListItems, fileMRU, and automaticdestinations-mscp, all of which are Quick Access files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CUSTOMDESTINATIONS-MS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
