How to open DOCKLET file?

The most common problem when using ObjectDock Docklet is that a specific DOCKLET is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open DOCKLET, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DOCKLET 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 ObjectDock

Programs to open DOCKLET file

Remember to download programs supporting DOCKLET files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ObjectDock with DOCKLET files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DOCKLET file to open in the ObjectDock application, but you can set it manually. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DOCKLET file with the ObjectDock application.

Step 3. Update ObjectDock to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ObjectDock program, it is possible that ObjectDock Docklet requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Stardock Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOCKLET file

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

The DOCKLET file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DOCKLET file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DOCKLET file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DOCKLET file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DOCKLET files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DOCKLET files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Stardock Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DOCKLET files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DOCKLET to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DOCKLET to close. However, some background programs may block the DOCKLET file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
