How to open FBEXPLORE file?

The main problem with FileBoss Format is that the FBEXPLORE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FBEXPLORE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FBEXPLORE 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 FileBoss

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FileBoss is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FileBoss into the system search engine. 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 FBEXPLORE files.

Programs to open FBEXPLORE file

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

Step 2. Create association of FileBoss with FBEXPLORE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FBEXPLORE file still does not use the FileBoss 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the FileBoss application as the default for handling the FBEXPLORE file.

Step 3. Update FileBoss to the latest version

If, however, after binding FileBoss with FileBoss Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the The Utility Factory website or update the program from the application.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The FBEXPLORE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FBEXPLORE file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FBEXPLORE file. Sometimes virus-infected FBEXPLORE files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FBEXPLORE file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 FBEXPLORE files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FBEXPLORE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FBEXPLORE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FBEXPLORE 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.
