How To Open A Null File

First, try opening the file with the existing programs on your computer. To find out what type of file it is, right-click it, and select ‘Properties’ from the menu that appears. Have a look at the ‘Type of File’ to see what kind of file it is. Some existing programs on your computer may be able to open it, depending on what kind of file it is. If this doesn’t work, you can open the null file with a universal file viewer. There are many such programs available for free on the web. Simply download one, install it, and view the file with it.
