How to open HJT file?

The most common problem when using TreePad 6 Database Format is that a specific HJT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that HJT 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 HJT 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 TreePad

The first step is to check if the computer has the TreePad program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TreePad in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HJT with TreePad. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HJT files.

Programs to open HJT file

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

Step 2. Create association of TreePad with HJT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HJT file still does not use the TreePad program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 TreePad application as the default for handling the HJT file.

Step 3. Update TreePad to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the TreePad program, it is possible that TreePad 6 Database Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Freebyte.com website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the HJT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HJT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HJT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HJT files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 HJT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Freebyte.com help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HJT 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 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. Copying the HJT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HJT file again. However, some background programs may block the HJT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
