.irp File Extension

Developer: Zylox Software

File type: Internet Researcher Project File

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

what is a .irp file?

IRP files are categorized as data files and they refer to the project files created using the Internet Researcher program. IRP files are files containing the settings of a project as well as the contents of a web page, like .HTML, JavaScript (.JS) and other images files. This is because the Internet Researcher program is an application used to download websites so that they can be browsed offline. Internet Researcher is a reliable application since it is known to posses many features that users cannot find in other browsers. IRP files may use the ".irp" extension but they are also stored in a standard Microsoft Access database format. The projects created using Internet Researcher or the IRP files are saved in a folder named My_Documents\IR_Projects folder found in the current user directory. The Internet Researcher application was developed by Zylox Software and is also called Offline Commander wherein it runs on a windows operating system.

how to open a .irp file?

Launch a .irp 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 .irp 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 .irp files aren't yet associated with it.

Zylox Software Internet Researcher

Zylox Software, Inc. designed the Internet Researcher as an alternative web browser that can search automatically for keywords, download complete websites for offline use and data analysis, and save web pages with Flash videos and dynamic images. This browser keeps a cache of all pages that users visited and loads a specific webpage based on a key word or phrase. It pre-fetches the saved web pages to allow users to browse them even while offline. While searching through the Internet, this browser has protective countermeasures against malicious sites that automatically open new windows and prevent users from exiting. To keep it lightweight and fast, the browser blocks banner displays and animated ads from appearing on the page. Apart from a web browser, Internet Researcher is also a useful tool for developers and webmasters who wanted to regularly check their websites for broken links and formatting errors.

a word of warning

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