How to open KED file?

An often recurring problem with KEDIT Profile And Macro Format is that KED is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open KED, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KED 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 Kedit

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Kedit is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kedit in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file KED.

Programs to open KED file

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

Step 2. Create association of Kedit with KED files

If, despite the installed application, the KED file does not start in the Kedit application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Kedit application as the default for handling the KED file.

Step 3. Update Kedit to the latest version

If, however, after binding Kedit with KEDIT Profile And Macro Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Mansfield Software Group, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The KED file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the KED file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KED or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KED files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of KED file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KED file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mansfield Software Group, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KED 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move KED 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KED file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
