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

Step 2. Create association of Folder Lock with FLKA files

Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The FLKA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FLKA file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FLKA file. However, remember that not every infected FLKA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of FLKA 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FLKA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact NewSoftwares
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file FLKA 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the FLKA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FLKA to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FLKA file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
