The SMHT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SMHT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SMHT file on each system platform.
What is SMHT file?
The file with the extension SMHT is the Encoded Files file type. The author of this format is Oracle Corporation. Encoded Files consists of 236 similar files. Sealed MHT Archive appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Unsealer application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Oracle Corporation.
How to open SMHT file?
The most common problem when using Sealed MHT Archive is that a specific SMHT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SMHT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SMHT 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 Unsealer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Unsealer program installed. To do this, enter the name Unsealer into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SMHT files.
Programs to open SMHT file
Remember to download programs supporting SMHT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Unsealer with SMHT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SMHT file still does not use the Unsealer program, it means no 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SMHT file with the Unsealer program.
Step 3. Update Unsealer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Unsealer program with the Sealed MHT Archive 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 Oracle Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SMHT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The SMHT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SMHT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SMHT file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SMHT 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 SMHT 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SMHT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Oracle Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SMHT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SMHT file to another location.
This problem usually affects 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 SMHT file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
