How to open HHT file?
An often recurring problem with Help And Support Center HHT Format is that HHT is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open HHT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HHT 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 Microsoft Help
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Help program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Help into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support HHT files.
Programs to open HHT file
Remember to download programs supporting HHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Help with HHT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HHT file still does not use the Microsoft Help 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HHT file with the Microsoft Help program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Help to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Help with Help And Support Center HHT Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HHT 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HHT file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HHT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected HHT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HHT files changes over time. 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 HHT file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HHT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HHT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HHT 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 HHT to close. 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.
