dr_st | If you run X.EXE, which is a DOS program and there exists X.PIF in the same directory - Windows (all versions) uses the information in X.PIF. I don't know, maybe there is some setting to change it, but by default that's the way it is. | |

I don't know which kind of OS you are using, but when I launch an .exe with my Win XP it doesn't look for a .pif at all. If I click on the .pif then it will use it to run the game. Pif are really like Windows "shortcuts" anyways. |

dr_st | Yeah, but as long as they are there, Windows will attempt to run them when you run the application, so like was said - delete it. | |

Pif files are made specially for a computer. If you don't have the exact same setting than the computer which created the .pif then you have 80% chance that it doesn't work at all. Better leave those .pif alone. You don't need them to run the game(s) anyways. |

Virgil | *.pif file it's a shorcut (file with big letters "MS-DOS") for dos applications ,seems what paths in it wrote incorrect ,so right click on it & edit path to *. exe file and directory. Or simply delete it & run game's exe file . | |
