Step 1. Install 7-Zip

In this case, you should first verify that the 7-Zip application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 7-Zip in it. 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 7Z.020 files.

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

If, despite the installed application, the 7Z.020 file does not start in the 7-Zip application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 7Z.020 file with the 7-Zip program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 7Z.020 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the 7Z.020 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 7Z.020 file. Sometimes virus-infected 7Z.020 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of 7Z.020 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair 7Z.020 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Igor Pavlov help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 7Z.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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the 7Z.020 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the 7Z.020 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file 7Z.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.
