How to open LOCATION file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Windows 10 Registry Data Format is that LOCATION is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that LOCATION files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LOCATION 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 Sublime Text

In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LOCATION with Sublime Text. Below you will find a list of applications that support LOCATION files.

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with LOCATION files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the LOCATION file to open in the Sublime Text application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LOCATION file with the Sublime Text program.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

If, however, after binding Sublime Text with Microsoft Windows 10 Registry Data 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 Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the LOCATION file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file LOCATION or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected LOCATION file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the LOCATION 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LOCATION file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LOCATION 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move LOCATION to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LOCATION to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LOCATION file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
