The file format that utilizes the .RDG extension is typically related to Remote Desktop Connection settings in the Windows operating system. These settings, stored as .RDG files, are important in defining various facets of the Remote Desktop Connection behavior. Additionally, RDG file also represents Red Dragon's Game Data File format used in several video games. Let's get into the details of both uses of RDG extension.
Remote Desktop Connection settings
Remote Desktop Connection is a feature of Windows PCs that lets you remotely control your computer from a different location. The .RDG file format stores settings pertaining to the connection, such as the remote computer�s identification and configuration info, and presents it as a simple clickable icon on your desktop.

To open .RDG files related to Remote Desktop Connection you would need Remote Desktop Connection Manager software developed by Microsoft. You can download the software directly from the Microsoft official website.
Red Dragon's Game Data File
In the context of video games, RDG stands for Red Dragon's Game Data Files. These files are used in games like "Wargame: Red Dragon" which is a real-time tactic's game developed by Eugen Systems and published by Focus Home Interactive. This game uses .RDG files to store a variety of game data, such as units, maps, scenarios, etc. Visit the Eugen Systems website for more information about the game.
Accessing and manipulating .RDG files in this context requires proprietary game development tools provided by the game's developers. Unfortunately, these tools are typically not publicly available.
RDG File Important Information
While both uses of the RDG file format are distinct, they share the common feature of being specialized proprietary formats. This means, in most cases, you need the original software that created the RDG files to view or edit them: Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Manager or the proprietary tools used by Eugen Systems. As a result, while RDG files play important roles within their respective domains, their use beyond these realms is quite limited.
Never open an .RDG file you received via an email from an untrusted source, or that you found on your computer and do not remember creating it. It is important to scan such .RDG files for malware before opening them. Learn more about file security from the Norton webpage.
