.bin and .exe files?

[budgood]

I have downloaded 2 bin files and 1 exe file. how do I use them?
I can burn the bin files with nero but whats the exe file for?

[Afronaut]

Them .bin files usually comes with .cue files and you can burn them with Nero.

.exe is a program, most likely some sorta circumvent for the so called copy-protection,
bould be anything really, even a virus so be carefull and always scan them files.



IKE has done a marvellous topic about all these files and what to do with them:

alcohol 120 is also a good program to use with the bin files. You can easily find a free copy out there. It allows you to mount the file onto a "virtual drive" so you don't have to waste a cdr or dvdr (that is if it is not necessary to).

There is a really good freeware program called Daemon Tools that is also used to mount Bin/Cue files and explore from a virtual drive.
