What is a .DBB file?
A .DBB file is a type of file that was used by older versions of Skype, which is a program that lets people communicate with each other over the internet through video calls, voice calls, and text messages. The .DBB file contains important information about a Skype user, such as their profile details, the list of people they have added as contacts, and the history of their chats. However, the newer versions of Skype don't use .DBB files anymore. Instead, they use files that end in .DB, like main.db, skype.db, and database.db.
To open a .DBB file, you can use a program called skypr or another program called NirSoft SkypeLogView. These programs can help you see the information stored in the .DBB file.
Skype was first created in 2003 by a group of developers named Niklas Zennström, Janus Friis, Priit Kasesalu, Toivo Annus, Ahti Heinla, and Jaan Tallinn. Over the years, different companies have owned Skype, but now Microsoft is in charge of it. Microsoft made changes to Skype, including replacing the .DBB files with .DB files.
If you used Skype a long time ago and still have it on your computer, you might have some .DBB files saved. Depending on which version of Windows you're using, you can find these files in a specific folder on your computer. For example, you might find them in "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Profile Name]\Application Data\Skype\[Your Skype Username]" or in "C:\Documents and Settings\[Your Profile Name]\AppData\Roaming\Skype\[Your Skype Username]" if you're using a different version of Windows.
