If you can't work out which program is actually using the file the program that you can get free by clicking the link below will help you out. Dr. Hoiby's WhoLockMe program.

Watching the Planes

If you like watching aircraft then the site that can be seen at http://www.plane-mad.com/ is brilliant.

If you go to the Airpoprts Guide section of the page you will see many of the main airports listed with all the best places to park to see all the aircraft. It gives parking charges (if there are any) and an idea of what you are likely to see.

This page is a must for anyone that likes to see aircraft taking off and landing etc.
