What is IKF file?
The file with the extension IKF is the Settings Files file type. It was designed by PCS Systemtechnik. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files.

How to open IKF file?
The main problem with INTUS Keyboard Format is that the IKF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open IKF, 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 IKF 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 RemoteConf
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that RemoteConf is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name RemoteConf in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file IKF with RemoteConf. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open IKF files.
Programs to open IKF file
Remember to download programs supporting IKF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of RemoteConf with IKF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the IKF file still does not use the RemoteConf program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 IKF file with the RemoteConf program.
Step 3. Update RemoteConf to the latest version
If, despite the association of the RemoteConf program with the INTUS Keyboard Format 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 IKF 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 IKF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the IKF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our IKF file. However, remember that not every infected IKF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IKF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IKF files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted IKF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the IKF 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file IKF to close. However, some background programs may block the IKF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
