LGL file extension - Microsoft Windows application log

What is lgl file? How to open lgl files?

File type specification:

Various data file type icon Various data file type

lgl file icon: lgl filetype icon

The lgl file extension is used by Microsoft Windows for generated application logs.

In Windows 98 and Windows Me, the Task Monitor tracks which programs are launched and how they load from disk, and it records the info in the Applog folder.

The Defrag utility then uses this info to provide special optimization for the program files you use most often. Rather than rearranging the clusters of these files in sequential order, Defrag rearranges them in the order they're loaded when the program launches.

This lgl file type entry was marked as obsolete and no longer supported file format.

This type of file is no longer actively used and is most likely obsolete.

Help how to open:

This file type is not meant to be opened directly, there is no software that could open and work with it directly, or there is no information available in public sources about opening this file type. This is usually the case of some internal data files, caches, temporary files etc.

How to convert:

This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.
