What is NJB file?

The NJB file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Nikon. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Nikon Photo Index Format is most often found on 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. The Nikon cameras, Nikon Capture programs will also handle the file when the Should not be opened program does not fulfill its role.

How to open NJB file?

The main problem with Nikon Photo Index Format is that the NJB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open NJB, 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 NJB 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 Should not be opened

In this case, you should first verify that the Should not be opened application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Should not be opened 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 NJB files.

Programs to open NJB file

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

Step 2. Create association of Should not be opened with NJB files

If, despite the installed application, the NJB file does not start in the Should not be opened 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. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NJB file with the Should not be opened application.

Step 3. Update Should not be opened to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Should not be opened program, it is possible that Nikon Photo Index Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

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

The NJB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NJB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NJB file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NJB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NJB 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NJB file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NJB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NJB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NJB file again. However, some background programs may block the NJB file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
