What is a .WFC file?
The .WFC file extension is used for a type of file called a Windows Wireless Network Settings File. This kind of file is important for helping different devices, like computers and printers, connect to Wi-Fi networks easily. It is used by a special program that comes with Windows, known as Windows Connect Now. Inside a .WFC file, there are details written in a code format called XML. These details include the name of the Wi-Fi network (also known as SSID) and the type of security it uses to keep the connection safe (like a password). This makes it easier to set up new devices to connect to your Wi-Fi without having to enter all this information manually each time.
You can open and look at a .WFC file using any program that lets you edit text, like Notepad on Windows, because the information is written in XML format. However, to actually use the file for setting up a wireless network, you would use the Windows Connect Now program that comes with your Windows operating system.
To create a .WFC file, you can use a feature in Windows Connect Now called the Wireless Network Setup Wizard. This helps you save all the necessary Wi-Fi settings into a .WFC file, which you can then use to quickly connect other devices to your network. A common example of a .WFC file is named Wsetting.wfc.
