MAN file extension - Microsoft Windows 2000/XP mandatory user profile

What is man file? How to open man files?

File type specification:

System file type icon System file type

man file icon: man filetype icon

The man file extension is associated with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

This type of man file contains mandatory user profiles. Mandatory user profile is a user account in which the settings are pre-configured by the administrator.

If you are using a mandatory user profile, you can modify the profile, but when you log off the computer, the changes are not saved to the profile location (the changes are non-persistent).

When you log on to the computer again, the original mandatory profile is loaded on the computer.

This man 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. This is typically the case for system files in old operating systems, file types from long discontinued software, or previous versions of certain file types (like documents, projects etc.) that were replaced in higher versions of their original programs.
