How to open FLK file?
The main problem with Folder Lock Format is that the FLK file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that FLK files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FLK 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 Lock
In this case, you should first verify that the Folder Lock application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Folder Lock into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support FLK files.
Programs to open FLK file
Remember to download programs supporting FLK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Folder Lock with FLK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FLK file still does not use the Folder Lock program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 Folder Lock application as the default for handling the FLK file.
Step 3. Update Folder Lock to the latest version
If, however, after binding Folder Lock with Folder Lock Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the NewSoftwares Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FLK 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 FLK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FLK files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FLK file. Sometimes virus-infected FLK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FLK files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact NewSoftwares
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FLK 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move FLK to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FLK 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 FLK to close. However, some background programs may block the FLK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
