How to open file with .GROUP extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .GROUP file? Do you want to convert a .GROUP file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .GROUP

Full Name Developer Category
Windows Mail Group Format Microsoft System Files
.GROUP

The .GROUP file extension is associated with contact groups created in the Windows Contacts component of Windows operating systems. Contact groups, also referred to as “Distribution Lists”, are collections of contact details that are grouped within one file. They are usually created when multiple contacts need to receive a single, group-specific message or piece of communication. The .GROUP file format is used to store contact group information by the Windows Contacts application, and is managed in a way that makes it easy for the user to email everyone in the group contact list with one click.

Technical Details:

The .GROUP files are plain-text files. They store Comma Separated Values (CSV) formatted data. The CSV data includes contact information such as name, phone number, and email address. It also includes category information for each contact if available, including role, organization, and notes associated with each contact in the group. All this information is stored within the .GROUP file so it can be easily accessed and used as desired.

Other related formats that can be used to store contact and distribution list information include .VCF, .DAT, and .CSV. The .GROUP format is primarily used in Windows computers but can be transferred to other devices by using conversion software.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .GROUP) 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 .GROUP 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 .GROUP 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 .GROUP 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 .GROUP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .GROUP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .GROUP 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 .GROUP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .GROUP file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .GROUP file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .GROUP file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
