Open HTC File

The HTC file contains definitions for HTML Components that define dynamic behavior within web pages, typically used by Internet Explorer, a common web browser that displays the content of web pages.

The HTC file is designed to contain functions that are reusable across multiple HTML pages, and is stored in plain text format.

It is important to note that HTC files are not standardized, and therefore not compatible with all browser types.

Because the HTC file is mostly compatible with Internet Explorer, then, this also limits the operating systems on which this type of file can operate, since Internet Explorer is only compatible with Windows OS.
