How to open HT1 file?
The main problem with Google Desktop Application Data is that the HT1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HT1, 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 HT1 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 Google Desktop
The first step is to check if the computer has the Google Desktop program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Google Desktop in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HT1 files.
Programs to open HT1 file
Remember to download programs supporting HT1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Google Desktop with HT1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HT1 file to open in the Google Desktop application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the HT1 file with the Google Desktop application.
Step 3. Update Google Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Google Desktop program with the Google Desktop Application Data file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Google Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HT1 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HT1 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HT1 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected HT1 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HT1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged HT1 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Google Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HT1 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HT1 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HT1 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HT1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
