The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the INFO-26 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.

Programs to open INFO-26 file
Remember to download programs supporting INFO-26 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Cygwin with INFO-26 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the INFO-26 file to open in the Cygwin application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 Cygwin application as the default for handling the INFO-26 file.
Step 3. Update Cygwin to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Cygwin program with the Cygwin Info file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Red Hat, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the INFO-26 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to INFO-26 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 INFO-26 file. However, remember that not every infected INFO-26 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 INFO-26 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular INFO-26 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Red Hat, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted INFO-26 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move INFO-26 to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file INFO-26 to close. However, some background programs may block the INFO-26 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
