Readme Text appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The NotePad++ text editor application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Notepad++ Team. There are also 3 alternative programs to handle the !!! file.

How to open !!! file?
The most common problem when using Readme Text is that a specific !!! is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open !!!, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the !!! file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install NotePad++ text editor
The first step is to check if the computer has the NotePad++ text editor program installed. This can be achieved by typing NotePad++ text editor into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support !!! files.
Programs to open !!! file
Remember to download programs supporting !!! files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with !!! files
If, despite the installed application, the !!! file does not start in the NotePad++ text editor application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the NotePad++ text editor application as the default for handling the !!! file.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the Readme Text file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Notepad++ Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the !!! file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The !!! file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to !!! files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our !!! file. However, remember that not every infected !!! file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the !!! file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged !!! files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted !!! files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the !!! file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the !!! file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the !!! file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the !!! file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
