How to open ANH file?
The most common problem when using ActivTrak Net View History is that a specific ANH is not associated with the program. This causes the file ANH 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 ANH 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 ActivTrak
The first step is to check if the computer has the ActivTrak program installed. To do this, enter the name ActivTrak into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ANH.
Programs to open ANH file
Remember to download programs supporting ANH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ActivTrak with ANH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ANH file to open in the ActivTrak 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 ANH file with the ActivTrak program.
Step 3. Update ActivTrak to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ActivTrak program with the ActivTrak Net View History file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Birch Grove Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANH file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ANH file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ANH or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ANH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ANH files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ANH files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Birch Grove Software, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ANH files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ANH file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ANH 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 ANH to close. However, some background programs may block the ANH file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
