Microsoft Windows WinHelp Related Format | Microsoft | Text Files |
The file extension .TSC is related to Microsoft Windows WinHelp. It is a binary file that contains text, graphics, and index information necessary to operate the Windows help system. The TSC files typically have an associated CNT, GID, and HLP extensions that make up the complete Windows Help package. When WinHelp needs to be invoked, the TSC contains the location of the topic that will be displayed.
Functionality
TSC files can be used to enable different Windows applications run help subjects interactively. These files act as a shortcut and contain a small code snippet which is used by the Windows Help Viewer engine to quickly access the predefined topics. When a user clicks on help, WinHelp then retrieves subject from the related HLP file based on information contained in the TSC file. Additional files such as GID and CNT files are used by WinHelp viewer to show customized display.
Similar File Types
TSC files are often part of a complete Windows Help package with associated .GID, .CNT, and .HLP file extensions. A single help package may have several GID, CNT, HLP, and TSC files that work together to provide help information for a given application.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TSC) 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 .TSC 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 .TSC 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 .TSC 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 .TSC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TSC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TSC 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 .TSC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TSC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TSC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
