How to open DTW file?

An often recurring problem with Desktop Wallpaper is that DTW is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DTW to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTW 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 My Better Desktop Free Viewer

The first step is to check if the computer has the My Better Desktop Free Viewer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name My Better Desktop Free Viewer in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DTW files.

Step 2. Create association of My Better Desktop Free Viewer with DTW files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DTW file to open in the My Better Desktop Free Viewer application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DTW file with the My Better Desktop Free Viewer program.

Step 3. Update My Better Desktop Free Viewer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the My Better Desktop Free Viewer program with the Desktop Wallpaper file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTW 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:

The DTW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DTW file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DTW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DTW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DTW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DTW file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DTW 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. If possible, you can try to move the DTW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DTW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DTW 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.
