What is RLD file?
The file with the extension RLD is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Symantec Corporation. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

The main program that supports this format is Norton Commander. This was created by Symantec Corporation.
How to open RLD file?
The most common problem when using Norton Commander Temporary is that a specific RLD is not associated with the program. This causes the file RLD 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 RLD 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 Norton Commander
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Norton Commander is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Norton Commander into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file RLD.
Programs to open RLD file
Remember to download programs supporting RLD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Norton Commander with RLD files
If, despite the installed application, the RLD file does not start in the Norton Commander application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 Norton Commander application as the default for handling the RLD file.
Step 3. Update Norton Commander to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Norton Commander program, it is possible that Norton Commander Temporary requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Symantec Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RLD 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 RLD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RLD file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RLD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RLD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RLD 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RLD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Symantec Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RLD files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RLD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 RLD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RLD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
