The NRF file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the NRF files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the NRF file on each system platform.
What is NRF file?
The file in the NRF format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by IBM. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. IBM Domino Notes Redirection appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Lotus Domino to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open NRF file?
An often recurring problem with IBM Domino Notes Redirection is that NRF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NRF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NRF 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 Lotus Domino
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Lotus Domino is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Lotus Domino into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NRF with Lotus Domino. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NRF files.
Programs to open NRF file
Remember to download programs supporting NRF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lotus Domino with NRF files
If, despite the installed application, the NRF file does not start in the Lotus Domino application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NRF file with the Lotus Domino program.
Step 3. Update Lotus Domino to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Lotus Domino program, it is possible that IBM Domino Notes Redirection requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NRF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The NRF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NRF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NRF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NRF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NRF file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NRF file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NRF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NRF file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NRF 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 NRF to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NRF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
