How to open PTXT file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft Rights Management Protected TXT Format is that PTXT is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PTXT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PTXT 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.

Programs to open PTXT file
Remember to download programs supporting PTXT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Rights Management with PTXT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PTXT file still does not use the Microsoft Rights Management program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 PTXT file with the Microsoft Rights Management program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Rights Management to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft Rights Management with Microsoft Rights Management Protected TXT Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PTXT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PTXT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PTXT file. Sometimes virus-infected PTXT 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 PTXT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PTXT files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PTXT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PTXT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PTXT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PTXT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
