Programs to open CTZ file
Remember to download programs supporting CTZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Custody Toolbox with CTZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CTZ file still does not use the Custody Toolbox program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 CTZ file with the Custody Toolbox application.
Step 3. Update Custody Toolbox to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Custody Toolbox program with the Custody Toolbox Compressed Backup file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Dextronet.com page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CTZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The CTZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CTZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CTZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CTZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CTZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CTZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Dextronet.com help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CTZ 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CTZ file to another location.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CTZ 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.
