How to open OPTIONS file?
The main problem with SE-SOFT Configuration Format is that the OPTIONS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OPTIONS 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 OPTIONS 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 SE-DesktopApps
In this case, you should first verify that the SE-DesktopApps application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SE-DesktopApps in it.

Programs to open OPTIONS file
Remember to download programs supporting OPTIONS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SE-DesktopApps with OPTIONS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OPTIONS file still does not use the SE-DesktopApps program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OPTIONS file with the SE-DesktopApps application.
Step 3. Update SE-DesktopApps to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SE-DesktopApps program with the SE-SOFT Configuration Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SE-SOFT.COM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OPTIONS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OPTIONS file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OPTIONS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OPTIONS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OPTIONS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 OPTIONS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SE-SOFT
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OPTIONS 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 OPTIONS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the OPTIONS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OPTIONS 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.
