Open MSNBAK File

The MSNBAK file extension is associated with version 9 of MSN for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Microsoft MSN

MSN (Microsoft Network) is a web portal and a collection of web applications and services for desktop computers, either Windows or any other operating system and mobile devices, provided by Microsoft and released in 1995, along with the release of Windows 95.

Microsoft Network was initially a subscription-based, dial-up online service, which later evolved into an Internet service provider called MSN Dial-up.

Three years after the launch of MSN, Microsoft changed the name and moved the Microsoft Start web portal to the domain name www.msn.com, where it has remained to this day.

MSN, as a brand, has been used over time for a wide variety of products and services, notably Hotmail, now Outlook.com, Messenger, now Skype, and its web search engine, Bing, among other discontinued services. .

MSN is based in the United States and offers 'weatherized' international versions of its portal to dozens of countries around the world.

MSN applications were replaced, at the time, by Windows Live applications.

The MSNBAK file is a unique and proprietary format that served as a backup copy of email messages.

This type of MSNBAK extension file is now deprecated and is not supported by current applications.
