The DBB (Skype User Information) file extension is a proprietary file type used by Skype software to store user-specific data such as chat histories, contacts, messages and call log data. This type of file is encoded in a special format and can only be read by Skype software. While the file format is proprietary, the content stored in such files can be viewed in plain text format when opened with a text editor. However, this is not recommended as any changes made to the file might degrade its future performance.
Structural Organization of Files
The DBB (Skype User Information) file includes several important structural components, such as a header section for the file, which contains information about the version and compression type; a content section for data about users; and a footer section for closing file operations. Additionally, this type of file follows a standard binary structure with MS-DOS line breaks for storage of information in designated fields and variables. It is structured mainly as an XML document containing a hierarchically arranged tree of elements. Similar file types include MMSG, CBLite, and WMCNX.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DBB) 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 .DBB 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 .DBB 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 .DBB 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 .DBB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DBB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DBB 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 .DBB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DBB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DBB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
