Does anyone know how to find the .gid files?

try opening a software I've had for a few years & never had a problem so far - telling me that they cannot find the .gid file - appreciate any help
Thankx

What is the application you are trying to use and what is the full error message?

. Generally, GID files are associated with the Windows Help files and should be created automatically when the first opening of a help file.  WinHelp is obsolete and is not available in Vista or Win 7.

A WinHelp file has a ".hlp" suffix It can be accompanied by a table in the content file (.cnt) if option the created help developer one. When Windows opens a WinHelp file, it creates a file in the same directory .gid, containing information about the file .hlp such as the location and size of the window. If the user clicks on the 'Search' tab and allows indexing of key words, Windows creates an index with the .fts (full text search) extension file.

There are some specialized software applications that also use this file extension (example).
