What is HOP file?

The file with the extension HOP is the Encoded Files file type. It was designed by Hippon SAS. Additionally, the Encoded Files category contains 236 of other files. Hippon Protected appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use HippOnProtect to handle this file. This is a program created by Hippon SAS.

How to open HOP file?

The main problem with Hippon Protected is that the HOP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HOP, 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 HOP 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 HippOnProtect

The first step is to check if the computer has the HippOnProtect program installed. To do this, enter the name HippOnProtect into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file HOP.

Programs to open HOP file

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

Step 2. Create association of HippOnProtect with HOP files

If, despite the installed application, the HOP file does not start in the HippOnProtect application, you must create a file 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 HippOnProtect application as the default for handling the HOP file.

Step 3. Update HippOnProtect to the latest version

If, however, after binding HippOnProtect with Hippon Protected there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Hippon SAS website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HOP 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 HOP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HOP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HOP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HOP 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 HOP 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HOP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Hippon SAS
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file HOP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the HOP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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.
