.msc

1. Microsoft (Windows) Management Console (MMC) snap-in file.

These files provide additional functionality which can be used only within the Microsoft Management Console. However they can normally be treated as executable (in the sense that you can double click them or type the name at the command line) because trying to open a .msc file should automatically open the Microsoft Management Console.

A .msc file is also known as an MMC plug-in file.
