What is HKS file?
The HKS file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by HTML-Kit.com. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. HTML-KIT Plugin is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is HTML-KIT. This was created by HTML-Kit.com.
How to open HKS file?
An often recurring problem with HTML-KIT Plugin is that HKS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that HKS 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 HKS 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 HTML-KIT
In this case, you should first verify that the HTML-KIT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name HTML-KIT into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open HKS files.
Programs to open HKS file
Remember to download programs supporting HKS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HTML-KIT with HKS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the HKS file still does not use the HTML-KIT 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 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HKS file with the HTML-KIT application.
Step 3. Update HTML-KIT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the HTML-KIT program, it is possible that HTML-KIT Plugin requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the HTML-Kit.com website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HKS 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HKS file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HKS file. However, remember that not every infected HKS 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 HKS 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HKS file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting HTML-Kit.com, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HKS 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move HKS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HKS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HKS file again. However, some background programs may block the HKS file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
