How to open CFB file?
The main problem with Disk Drill Recovered is that the CFB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CFB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CFB 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 Disk Drill
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Disk Drill is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Disk Drill into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CFB files.
Programs to open CFB file
Remember to download programs supporting CFB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Disk Drill with CFB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CFB file still does not use the Disk Drill program, it means no association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CFB file with the Disk Drill application.
Step 3. Update Disk Drill to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Disk Drill program, it is possible that Disk Drill Recovered requires a newer version of the program.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 Cleverfiles page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CFB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The CFB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CFB file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CFB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected CFB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CFB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CFB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cleverfiles, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CFB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the CFB file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CFB 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.
