How to open HTX file?
An often recurring problem with HTML Extension Format is that HTX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file HTX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HTX 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 FrontPage
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft FrontPage program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft FrontPage in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file HTX with Microsoft FrontPage. Below is a list of programs that support the file HTX.
Programs to open HTX file
Remember to download programs supporting HTX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft FrontPage with HTX files
If, despite the installed application, the HTX file does not start in the Microsoft FrontPage application, you must create a file 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. 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 Microsoft FrontPage application as the default for handling the HTX file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft FrontPage to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft FrontPage with HTML Extension Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HTX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the HTX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HTX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover HTX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of HTX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HTX file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HTX 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 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. Copying the HTX 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 you have to wait for the session to the file HTX to close. However, some background programs may block the HTX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
