What is a .WTR file?

The .WTR file extension is associated with a type of file called an Encarta File. These files are data files that were specifically used by a program called Microsoft Encarta, which was an encyclopedia software. Inside a .WTR file, there are resources or information that the Encarta program uses to show users detailed entries about various topics. These could include texts, images, or other data that help explain or give more information about the encyclopedia topics.

Since .WTR files are designed to work with the Encarta program, they are not meant to be opened or edited by the user directly. Instead, they are automatically accessed and used by the Encarta software whenever it needs to display information about an encyclopedia entry to the user.

However, it's important to note that Microsoft Encarta has been discontinued. Microsoft stopped selling Encarta software products in June 2009. This means that the Encarta program is no longer available for new users, and there are no updates or support for it. Because of this, opening or using .WTR files has become difficult, as the software required to access these files is no longer provided or supported by Microsoft.
