Windows NFO Viewer

Windows NFO Viewer is a small-sized and portable application that enables you to open and view NFO files, instead of using a common word processor like Notepad.

The tool sports just a few options that can be figured out even by users with little or no experience in computer software.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the executable file in any location on the hard disk and just click it to run.

There is also the alternative of saving Windows NFO Viewer to a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort and without prior installers.

What's more, the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the hard drive after program removal.

The interface is made from a simple window with a minimalistic layout, which lets you open a NFO file using the file browser only, since the drag-and-drop support is not featured.

Apart from viewing text, it is possible to edit it, make a selection and copy it to the Clipboard using the global hotkey or from the Edit menu. You can change text alignment. There are no other notable options provided by the application. A "Save As" entry is shown in the File menu, but clicking it did not trigger any action during our evaluation.

Windows NFO Viewer has a good response time and runs on a very low amount of CPU and RAM. Aside from the aforementioned problem, we haven't come across issues during testing. The app did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs.

Windows NFO Viewer offers a simple and elegant solution to viewing content of NFO files.
