Step 2. Create association of Office SharePoint Designer with SPDESIGNSKIN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SPDESIGNSKIN file still does not use the Office SharePoint Designer 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SPDESIGNSKIN file with the Office SharePoint Designer application.
Step 3. Update Office SharePoint Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Office SharePoint Designer program with the SharePoint Designer Skin 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SPDESIGNSKIN file

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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SPDESIGNSKIN file. Sometimes virus-infected SPDESIGNSKIN 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 SPDESIGNSKIN files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SPDESIGNSKIN file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SPDESIGNSKIN 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SPDESIGNSKIN file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SPDESIGNSKIN to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
