Open Map Cache File

Creates and opens a file named MapCache.hta or MapCache.txt.

The MapCache.ini file can be found in the Maps directory. It uses some encoded strings which may not be a pleasent experience for a user to view. Some of the information in this file may be useful to know about the maps. This tool will read this file and display a MapCache.txt file or a MapCache.hta file. The later file is good for user viewing of items like Map Path, Multiplayer, Players, Display Name and Description.

MapCache.hta is usually opened by mshta.exe and if the file exist, can be opened from the tool named Select Map Dir to view map information.
