What is R1W file?
The file in the R1W format belongs to the Settings Files category. It was designed by Attachmate Corporation. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files.

The Reflection application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Attachmate Corporation.
How to open R1W file?
The main problem with Reflection Setting is that the R1W file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open R1W, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the R1W 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 Reflection
In this case, you should first verify that the Reflection application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Reflection in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file R1W with Reflection. Below is a list of programs that support the file R1W.
Programs to open R1W file
Remember to download programs supporting R1W files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Reflection with R1W files
If, despite the installed application, the R1W file does not start in the Reflection application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Reflection application as the default for handling the R1W file.
Step 3. Update Reflection to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Reflection program with the Reflection Setting file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Attachmate Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the R1W 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the R1W file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file R1W or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected R1W 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 R1W files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular R1W file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Attachmate Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted R1W 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move R1W to a different directory.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the R1W file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
