What is 001 file?

The .001 file is part of the. These types of files are created by splitting a file or directory into several parts. It is assumed that this is done with archiving programs, because the applied compression reduces the number of potential parts. However, it is possible to do it with resource sharing programs - the process is much faster. The division is usually used when you need to use a medium with a limited capacity or when sending large attachments by e-mail.

How to open 001 file?

An often recurring problem with Split Archive Format is that 001 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that 001 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 001 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 StuffIt Deluxe

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that StuffIt Deluxe is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name StuffIt Deluxe into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open 001 files.

Programs to open 001 file

Remember to download programs supporting 001 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of StuffIt Deluxe with 001 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 001 file to open in the StuffIt Deluxe application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 001 file with the StuffIt Deluxe program.

Step 3. Update StuffIt Deluxe to the latest version

If, despite the association of the StuffIt Deluxe program with the Split Archive Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Smith Micro Software, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 001 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the 001 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 001 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected 001 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 001 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular 001 file corruption. 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 file 001 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the 001 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 001 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 001 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
