How to open MNT file?
An often recurring problem with FoxPro Menu Memo is that MNT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MNT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MNT 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 Visual FoxPro
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Visual FoxPro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Visual FoxPro 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 MNT with Visual FoxPro.

Programs to open MNT file
Remember to download programs supporting MNT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Visual FoxPro with MNT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MNT file to open in the Visual FoxPro 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 MNT file with the Visual FoxPro program.
Step 3. Update Visual FoxPro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Visual FoxPro program with the FoxPro Menu Memo file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MNT 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 MNT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MNT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MNT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MNT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MNT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MNT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MNT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the MNT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MNT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MNT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
