How to open JTP file?

The main problem with Windows Journal Template is that the JTP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open JTP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JTP 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 Windows Journal

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Windows Journal is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Windows Journal into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support JTP files.

Programs to open JTP file

Remember to download programs supporting JTP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Journal with JTP files

If, despite the installed application, the JTP file does not start in the Windows Journal application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JTP file with the Windows Journal program.

Step 3. Update Windows Journal to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows Journal with Windows Journal Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JTP file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The JTP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the JTP file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our JTP file. Sometimes virus-infected JTP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JTP 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JTP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JTP 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.
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 JTP to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JTP to close. However, some background programs may block the JTP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
