How to open IE3 file?
The most common problem when using Internet Explorer 3 is that a specific IE3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file IE3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IE3 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 Internet Explorer
In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft Internet Explorer application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft Internet Explorer into the system search engine.

Programs to open IE3 file
Remember to download programs supporting IE3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Internet Explorer with IE3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IE3 file still does not use the Microsoft Internet Explorer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Internet Explorer application as the default for handling the IE3 file.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Internet Explorer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Microsoft Internet Explorer program, it is possible that Internet Explorer 3 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the IE3 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IE3 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IE3 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover IE3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the IE3 files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IE3 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IE3 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the IE3 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IE3 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
