The STF ( .stf) file extension is a setup table file used by a range of different Microsoft applications. It is typically used by Microsoft ACME software to store data in a tabular format. This type of file can contain information in a spreadsheet format, as well as contain additional variables for program code scripting.
What Data STF Files Store?
An STF file can typically contain up to three different sections for data storage: the Setup Header Table, Setup Data Table and Script Data Table. The Setup Header Table section is commonly used to store descriptive information, such as product names and version numbers. The Setup Data Table section is most commonly used to store userconfigurable settings, such as the number of user licenses or license keys. Finally, the Script Data Table section is commonly used to store program code written with programming languages like VBScript and Visual Basic. These sections are enabled with metadata attributes.
Compatibility and File Extensions
While the STF ( .stf) file extension is most commonly seen with Microsoft ACME software, similar formats exist in other applications. These include the Windows Installer Data Files ( .wsi) associated with Windows Installer, Cell Illustrator Files ( .cif) associated with Cell Illustrator software, and Medical Intelligence Examination XML Summary Files ( .mif) associated with Medical Intelligence Examiner. In addition, other software companies may use the same file extension for their setup table files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .STF) 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 .STF 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 .STF 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 .STF 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 .STF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .STF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .STF 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 .STF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .STF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .STF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
