.gen File Extension
Developer:
ESRI
File type:
ArcView Data File
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .gen. Files with the file extension .gen can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .gen files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .gen file?
The .gen file extension is primarily used by the ArcView software. This file extension is implemented for files that can be exported with the use of the Arcview program. This software is an application that is used for analyzing data related to geography. It is mostly used for creating digital maps of specific locations and for printing out these maps. Geographic information exported from the software is saved in files with the .gen extension. It is the .gen file extension that allows Arcview to display all data relevant to the corresponding location that was mapped out using this program, whether they are geographical data or other map details. Arcview is not the only application that use the .gen file extension. This file format is also implemented by Ages!, which is a genealogical software that is used to organize and track family history, and these GEN files in Ages! are used to store details and pieces of information entered by a user in a family tree database created using this program. Ventura Publisher, now known as Corel Ventura 10 as of this writing, is also an application that is implemented with support for these GEN files, though for purposes that are different from these two programs.
how to open a .gen file?
Launch a .gen file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .gen file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .gen files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .gen file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .gen file will open the correct application.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .gen files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .gen. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
