How to open SH6 file?
The most common problem when using HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool Data Format is that a specific SH6 is not associated with the program.

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SH6 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 SH6 file
Remember to download programs supporting SH6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool with SH6 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SH6 file to open in the HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool application as the default for handling the SH6 file.
Step 3. Update HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool to the latest version
If, despite the association of the HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool program with the HelpMaker Help Authoring Tool Data 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 SourceForge.net website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SH6 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The SH6 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SH6 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SH6 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SH6 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SH6 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SH6 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SH6 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the SH6 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SH6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SH6 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
