The file in the MXSKIN format belongs to the Settings Files category. It was designed by Maxthon International. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files.

This was created by Maxthon International Limited.
How to open MXSKIN file?
The most common problem when using Maxthon Skin Format is that a specific MXSKIN is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MXSKIN, 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 MXSKIN 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 Maxthon
In this case, you should first verify that the Maxthon application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Maxthon in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open MXSKIN files.
Programs to open MXSKIN file
Remember to download programs supporting MXSKIN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Maxthon with MXSKIN files
If, despite the installed application, the MXSKIN file does not start in the Maxthon application, you must create a file association. 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 select the desired program. 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 MXSKIN file with the Maxthon program.
Step 3. Update Maxthon to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Maxthon program with the Maxthon Skin Format 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 Maxthon International Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MXSKIN file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MXSKIN file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MXSKIN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 MXSKIN file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MXSKIN 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 MXSKIN files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 MXSKIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Maxthon International help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MXSKIN 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the MXSKIN file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MXSKIN file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
