F.Y.I
This is not stealth, it creates a folder in %Profile%>AppData>Roaming called "ATViewer".

I am writing a research article on the importance of universal viewers and how they can be used in the preservation of digital records (ie. computer files).

Can you please tell me the technical basis of how the universal viewer works? How does it identify the various supported file formats and view them in the viewer?

Any information would be very helpful, I am having a tough time finding information on how universal viewers actually work.

Thank you

gurp99: that's an important topic I'd be happy to address, but could you move it over to the forums?

See all
