How to open AEV file?
The main problem with NotePad++ Text Editor Data Format is that the AEV file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AEV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AEV 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 we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AEV with NotePad++ text editor. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AEV files.
Programs to open AEV file
Remember to download programs supporting AEV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with AEV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AEV file to open in the NotePad++ text editor application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 AEV file.
Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the NotePad++ text editor program, it is possible that NotePad++ Text Editor Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Notepad++ Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AEV 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 AEV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AEV file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AEV file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AEV files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AEV file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AEV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AEV 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.
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 AEV to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AEV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
