How to open PSN file?
An often recurring problem with Post-it Notes is that PSN is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open PSN, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PSN 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 Post-It Notes
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Post-It Notes is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Post-It Notes into the system search engine.

Programs to open PSN file
Remember to download programs supporting PSN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Post-It Notes with PSN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PSN file still does not use the Post-It Notes 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 PSN file with the Post-It Notes application.
Step 3. Update Post-It Notes to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Post-It Notes program with the Post-it Notes file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the 3M website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PSN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PSN files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PSN file. However, remember that not every infected PSN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PSN 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PSN file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact 3M
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PSN except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PSN file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PSN file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PSN file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
