How to open EXCLUDE file?
An often recurring problem with WOW! Backup Format is that EXCLUDE is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EXCLUDE 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 EXCLUDE 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 WOW!

Programs to open EXCLUDE file
Remember to download programs supporting EXCLUDE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WOW! with EXCLUDE files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EXCLUDE file to open in the WOW! 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. 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 EXCLUDE file with the WOW! application.
Step 3. Update WOW! to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WOW! program, it is possible that WOW! Backup Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Würth website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EXCLUDE file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EXCLUDE files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EXCLUDE file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EXCLUDE 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 EXCLUDE 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 EXCLUDE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EXCLUDE 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the EXCLUDE file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EXCLUDE file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
