What is a .ORI file?
The file extension ".ORI" stands for "Original File." This extension is typically added to a file that already has another extension. For example, a file named "page1.html" might be renamed to "page1.html.ori" to indicate that it is the original version of the file. This can be useful for keeping track of the original content, especially when changes are made to the file. The ".ori" extension helps to distinguish the original file from other versions, such as backup files, which might have a ".BAK" extension.
To open a file with the ".ORI" extension, you should use the same program that was used to create the file. For instance, if the original file was a Word document, you would use Microsoft Word to open it. If it was an HTML file, you would use a web browser or a code editor.
It's important to note that sometimes, in order to open the file correctly, you might need to remove the ".ORI" extension. This means changing the filename back to its original form (e.g., changing "page1.html.ori" back to "page1.html"). This is because some programs might not recognize the file with the added ".ORI" extension and therefore cannot open it properly. After removing the ".ORI" extension, the file should be able to open in its respective program as usual.
