The DAT extension is used by many programs to hold DATa from that program. So there is no one program for opening DAT files (like Word for DOC or IE for HTML). But you should be able to open the file with Notepad. Whether the information in the file will be intelligent or not is another issue.

You may see the .DAT files as being associated with various applications on your system. .DAT is a generic "data file "extension, used by thousands of applications. If you have an application that tries to associate itself with .DAT files, it is likely suffering from delusions of grandeur, as it most likely cannot open the vast majority of .DAT files in existence.

Write click on the file extension, and open it with Wordpad. You can see the contents of the file in Wordpad.

It depends on which program wrote the file.
