How to open GROUPS file?
The main problem with WM Keeper CLASSIC Group is that the GROUPS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GROUPS to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GROUPS 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 WM Keeper CLASSIC

If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GROUPS with WM Keeper CLASSIC.

Programs to open GROUPS file
Remember to download programs supporting GROUPS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WM Keeper CLASSIC with GROUPS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GROUPS file still does not use the WM Keeper CLASSIC 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. 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 WM Keeper CLASSIC application as the default for handling the GROUPS file.
Step 3. Update WM Keeper CLASSIC to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WM Keeper CLASSIC program, it is possible that WM Keeper CLASSIC Group requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the WebMoney website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GROUPS 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GROUPS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GROUPS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected GROUPS 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 GROUPS 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GROUPS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use WebMoney help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GROUPS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GROUPS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GROUPS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
