| Description: | |
| SHD file is a Windows Shadow Header. When you print to the Generic/Text Only printer, the print job is spooled to the Windows/SPOOL/PRINTERS subdirectory as an editable temporary file with an .SPL extension. A header file with an .SHD extension is also created. An .SHD file is a "shadow" file that contains all the information the spooler needs to resubmit a print job in the event that your computer restarts before the print job is finished. /Windows 95/ | |

Cannot open .shd files on your system?
When windows gives you an error message saying that it cannot open
.shd files, this means either:
- You need to identify a program that can open the file or
- Your registry may be damaged.
RECOMMENDED:
In both cases it is strongly recommended that you
run a free scan for registry errors.
