File extension wri is most likely best known for its use in Windows Write, a simple word processor that was distributed with Microsoft Windows to version 3.11.
A .wri file represents document created and saved in Windows Write.
In Microsoft Windows 95 and higher, Microsoft Write was replaced by Microsoft WordPad., which could be used to open .wri files as well.
MIME types used:
You can try to open wri files in Windows WordPad. Sometimes WordPad can view extraneous or garbage characters at the beginning and at the end of the file, but text in the document is readable.
The wri files can also be open in the older versions of Microsoft Works, Microsoft Word or Corel WordPerfect.
The easiest way would probably be to open wri files in WordPad and save them to another file format. If WordPad viewed extraneous or garbage characters at the beginning and at the end of a .wri file, delete them prior saving.
Windows Write can also save .wri files in to the simple txt files.
