The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HTR 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 Windows NT 4.0
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 program installed. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 into the system search engine.

Programs to open HTR file
Remember to download programs supporting HTR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with HTR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HTR file to open in the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HTR file with the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 program with the Microsoft Windows NT Password Services Script file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HTR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to HTR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our HTR file. However, remember that not every infected HTR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HTR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HTR file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HTR 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the HTR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the HTR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
