How to open FGP file?
An often recurring problem with Folder Guard Passwords is that FGP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FGP 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 FGP 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 Folder Guard
The first step is to check if the computer has the Folder Guard program installed. This can be achieved by typing Folder Guard into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file FGP.
Programs to open FGP file
Remember to download programs supporting FGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Folder Guard with FGP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FGP file still does not use the Folder Guard program, it means no association. 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 FGP file with the Folder Guard application.
Step 3. Update Folder Guard to the latest version
If, however, after binding Folder Guard with Folder Guard Passwords there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the WinAbility Software Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FGP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the FGP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FGP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected FGP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FGP file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FGP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WinAbility Software Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FGP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FGP 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FGP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
