What is 3FS file?
The file in the 3FS format belongs to the System Files category. The author of this format is Puppy Linux. Additionally, the System Files category contains 323 of other files.

How to open 3FS file?
An often recurring problem with Puppy Linux Save State Format is that 3FS is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open 3FS, 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 3FS 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 Puppy Linux
In this case, you should first verify that the Puppy Linux application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Puppy Linux in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file 3FS.
Programs to open 3FS file
Remember to download programs supporting 3FS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Puppy Linux with 3FS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the 3FS file still does not use the Puppy Linux program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Puppy Linux application as the default for handling the 3FS file.
Step 3. Update Puppy Linux to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Puppy Linux program with the Puppy Linux Save State Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 3FS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 3FS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 3FS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected 3FS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 3FS files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 3FS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 3FS 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. It is best to move 3FS to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 3FS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 3FS to close. However, some background programs may block the 3FS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
