What is a .IRP file?
The .IRP file extension stands for an Internet Researcher Project File. This type of file is used by a program called Internet Researcher, which is made by Zylox Software. Internet Researcher is a special tool that lets you download entire websites so that you can look at them later without needing to be connected to the internet. When you save a project in Internet Researcher, it creates a .IRP file. This file includes all the settings you chose for the project, as well as the content from the website you downloaded. This content can be web pages (.HTML files), JavaScript files (.JS), and images.
To open a .IRP file, you need to use the Internet Researcher program from Zylox Software. This is because the .IRP file is designed specifically for this software.
It's interesting to note that inside, the .IRP file is actually a Microsoft Access database (.MDB file) but with a different extension (.irp) to show that it's a project file for Internet Researcher. When you save a project, it automatically goes into a folder named My_Documents\IR_Projects in your user directory, unless you choose to save it somewhere else.
So, if you have a .IRP file, you know it's a project file from Internet Researcher containing a downloaded website for offline browsing, and you'll need the Internet Researcher program to open and view it.
