How To Use TrID?
Suppose we have a file myfile.abc which is a access database file but it has a .abc extension (not .mdb) and it is in our D drive.
So Let's Start..
STEP 1: Download these software files:
Download (Main exe - 47KB)
Download (Support File - TrIDDefs.TRD 884KB)
STEP 2: Extract both zip files and put it in same folder. (I'm putting these files in D drive trid folder)
STEP 3: Open CMD (Yeah it is a command line application. Sorry! :P)
STEP 4: Open the directory from CMD where you have put the application files (in our case it is in d:\ trid).
STEP 5: Now Type this command
trid <your file name here (with path)>
For Eg: trid d:\myfile.abc (in our case)
STEP 6: Now hit Enter.
That's it. If everything would be OK then you will get the real extension on the screen.
