How to open ICONBOX file?
The most common problem when using IconBox is that a specific ICONBOX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ICONBOX, 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 ICONBOX 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 IconBox
In this case, you should first verify that the IconBox application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IconBox in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ICONBOX with IconBox. Below you will find a list of applications that support ICONBOX files.
Programs to open ICONBOX file
Remember to download programs supporting ICONBOX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IconBox with ICONBOX files
If, despite the installed application, the ICONBOX file does not start in the IconBox 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ICONBOX file with the IconBox application.
Step 3. Update IconBox to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IconBox program, it is possible that IconBox requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ChickenByte page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICONBOX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ICONBOX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ICONBOX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ICONBOX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ICONBOX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ICONBOX file. 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.
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 ICONBOX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use ChickenByte help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file ICONBOX 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. If possible, you can try to move the ICONBOX file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ICONBOX to close. However, some background programs may block the ICONBOX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
