What is a support file?
When a file is unsupported, this means that the file type cannot be understood by the device. Media-playing hardware can only operate with specific file types, or extensions. If you downloaded a document onto an mp3 player and expected it to play music from the file, the mp3 player would not know what to do with it. Likewise there are some sound file types that certain hardware cannot play. Some common file types for music include .mp3, .wma, .wav, and .aac

Why should you show file extensions?
To more clearly identify the types of files. Some are not so clear if there are only icons used. Some may not be recognised by the applications or operating system, but will be recognised by an experienced user. It is possible that someone has saved the file in the wrong format or where they set the extension themselves, they may have set it wrong. It also helps them identify what is the best software to use to open it. Graphics have a wide range of file types, and therefore extensions, and not all are properly identified, but an experienced user will know what to do with them.
What is a file extension?
A file extension is a three character designation that tells software about the format of the data within the file. For example, a ".rtf" file is in rich text format which requires a word processor for it to be interpreted and a ".pdf" file is in portable document format (which requires Adobe Acrobat to interpret).A file extension is used in some operating systems to identify the type of the contents of the file. It is usually separated from the main part of the file name by a ".", but some operating system have used different characters.Most file extensions today are 3 characters long (e.g. txt, exe, jpg, mpg), but different operating systems have used file extensions as short as 2 characters to as long as 80 characters.Some operating systems do not make use of file extensions. For example Unix makes no use of them at all. VMS and the original MacOS used a file type field in the directory entry instead of file extensions.
What is some information that file types provide?
File types, or file extensions -- for example. .DOCX, .PDF, .DAT-- reveal the format of the data included in the file. Software programs designed to open and read files 'look' for the file extension in order to set up the open and read functions.
What are files names and file extensions separated by?

Are file formats requiring plug-ins known as MIME types?
No, file formats requiring plug-ins are not specifically known as MIME types. MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types are a way to specify the nature and format of a file, allowing web browsers to understand how to handle different types of content. While some MIME types may indicate formats that require plug-ins (like certain video or audio types), the term "MIME type" itself refers to the broader classification of file types rather than the need for a plug-in.

The last three or four characters of a file name indicates which program was used to create the file?
It's whats known as a "file extension" File extensions are the last three/four letters after the dot of a file name, and it defines what program is used to open the file. Files ending with .mp3, usually open with Windows Media Player. Files ending with .doc, can be opened with MS Word. Some extensions are proprietary, such as the .pdf extension which can only be opened by Adobe Reader.
Why do some systems keep track of the type file while others leave it to the user or simply do not implement multiple file types?
Some systems keep track of file types to enhance usability and ensure compatibility, automating the organization and handling of various file formats. This can simplify user interactions and reduce errors associated with misidentifying file types. In contrast, other systems may leave it to the user to manage file types to maintain flexibility or to minimize complexity in design, especially in environments where file types are less critical. Additionally, some systems may not implement multiple file types due to resource constraints or a focus on specific use cases.
