The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 020 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 7-Zip

The first step is to check if the computer has the 7-Zip program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 7-Zip in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file 020 with 7-Zip. Below you will find a list of applications that support 020 files.

Programs to open 020 file

Remember to download programs supporting 020 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of 7-Zip with 020 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 020 file to open in the 7-Zip 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 020 file with the 7-Zip program.

Step 3. Update 7-Zip to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the 7-Zip program, it is possible that Split Format Or Compressed Format From A Multi-volume Archive (part 20) requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 020 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 020 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 020 file. However, remember that not every infected 020 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 020 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 020 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Igor Pavlov help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file 020 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the 020 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 020 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 020 to close. 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.
