How to open FLKW file?
The most common problem when using Folder Lock Encrypted is that a specific FLKW is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FLKW, 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 FLKW 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Folder Lock in it. 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 FLKW files.
Programs to open FLKW file
Remember to download programs supporting FLKW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Folder Lock with FLKW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FLKW file still does not use the Folder Lock 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Folder Lock application as the default for handling the FLKW file.
Step 3. Update Folder Lock to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Folder Lock program with the Folder Lock Encrypted file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 FLKW file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The FLKW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FLKW file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 FLKW file. Sometimes virus-infected FLKW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FLKW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FLKW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting NewSoftwares Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FLKW 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move FLKW to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FLKW 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.
