What is a .PDR file?
The .PDR file is a type of computer file known as a Windows Port Driver. This file helps your Windows computer recognize and work with specific USB devices, like USB flash drives. It's similar to another type of file called a .VXD file, which is also used to help your computer work with various pieces of hardware.
To open or use a .PDR file, you don't need to download any special software. Instead, you use a part of Windows called the Microsoft Control Panel. The Control Panel is a tool that lets you change settings and control different aspects of your computer. When you plug in a USB device that needs a .PDR file, Windows and the Control Panel use the file to make sure the device works correctly with your computer.
