| Internet Explorer 9 Pinned Site Shortcut Format | Microsoft | Web Files |
The WEBSITE file extension is associated with the Internet Explorer, a popular web browser created by Microsoft. Specifically, it stands for an Internet Explorer Pinned Site Shortcut, a feature of the browser initially released in version 9 that allows users to create shortcuts to navigate websites quickly and store personal settings.
How It Works
An WEBSITE shortcut works much like any other shortcut used on Windows. When clicked, it opens the pinned webpage in the same Internet Explorer browser window and applies the customized preferences that were recorded when the shortcut was created. In addition, on Windows 8 and 10, when an Internet Explorer Pinned Site Shortcut icon is placed on the taskbar, a jump list will appear—similar to the jump lists seen with taskbar navigation icons like Office and xPlayer—that gives the user options to open recent sites, tasks, and feeds associated with that pinned website.
Similar File Formats
A variety of other file formats exist which are related to the WEBSITE file type. These include the URL, commonly used as a reference for a website, as well as HTML, HTM, MHT, and XHTM. The following is an exhaustive list of similar file formats:
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .WEBSITE) 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 .WEBSITE 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 .WEBSITE 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 .WEBSITE 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 .WEBSITE extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .WEBSITE file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .WEBSITE 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 .WEBSITE file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .WEBSITE file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .WEBSITE file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
