The PROPDESC file extension is used by Microsoft Windows for its property descriptor files. These are XML files created by Windows that store descriptions of hardware and software device and component properties. The property description enables Windows to access and display the device and component photography, descriptions, and other pertinent data in the Windows user interface.
Usage and File Structure
PROPDESC files archives important details about the devices or components on Windows-based systems, such as the device name and type, service name, drivers used, infrastructure type, registry folder title, reporting text, and imagery. PROPDESC files consists of the following elements: driver store, service entry points, power settings for class filters, device servicing properties, and a complete description of the device or component.
Files with PROPDESC extension are associated with other file formats as well, such as HINF, .INF, .ALI, .FLD, .PLT, PNFDPL, and PNFDPLP. Most people who do not have access to a software developer’s program will not be able to open these files or browse through them.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .PROPDESC) 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 .PROPDESC 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 .PROPDESC 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 .PROPDESC 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 .PROPDESC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .PROPDESC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .PROPDESC 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 .PROPDESC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .PROPDESC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .PROPDESC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
