.mnt File Extension

Developer: Microsoft Corporation
File type: FoxPro Menu Memo
You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .mnt. Files with the file extension .mnt can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .mnt files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .mnt file?

The MNT file extension is used for a file associated with Microsoft Visual FoxPro Menu Memo. This file is also related with .MNX file extension which is in part included in Visual FoxPro. Visual FoxPro got its name from FoxPro which in turn was originally based on FoxBASE (developed in 1984 by Fox Software). It later evolved as Visual FoxPro upon the merger of Microsoft Corporation and Fox Technologies in 1992. Various versions were released for FoxPro which worked well with different operating systems like Windows, Mac OS, Unix and DOS. Other versions were read only by Mac OS and Windows which was later intended solely for the use of Windows. This was evident of their latest Visual FoxPro release which was COM-based (Component Objective Model). This was introduced by Microsoft in 1993 wherein dynamic object creation and interprocess communication is enabled in a range of programming languages. The word COM is usually used in the development of Microsoft products that includes DCOM, OLE, OLE Automation and ActiveX.

FoxPro

FoxPro, a procedural programming language and database management system created by Fox Software, has been widely used even before it was turned over to Visual FoxPro. It still enjoys a strong support from its community of programmers and users up to this day. FoxPro versions 2.0, 2.5 and 2.6 are compatible with Mac, DOS and Windows 3.1 to XP. Version 2.6 is compatible also with Linux and Free BSD, SCO Unix and Windows 2000. FoxPro 2 used Rushmore, an optimizing engine that used indices to look for matching expressions, to accelerate data updating and data retrieval. FoxPro 2 was built originally on Watcom C++ that has its own extensor making it the most up-to-date technology at that time. It could access expanded and extended memory making it able to utilize almost all available RAM [DOS]. If HIMEM.SYS is not loaded, FoxPro enabled a mechanism of using interrupts when extended memory driver is absent.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .mnt 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, .mnt. 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.
