The file in the SS format belongs to the Data Files category. Additionally, the Data Files category contains 1326 of other files. Scheme Source Code Format appears on 3 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 Linux, Mac OS, Windows. It is recommended to use Windows Notepad to handle this file.

How to open SS file?
The main problem with Scheme Source Code Format is that the SS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SS 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 Windows Notepad
In this case, you should first verify that the Windows Notepad application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Windows Notepad in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SS with Windows Notepad. Below is a list of programs that support the file SS.
Programs to open SS file
Remember to download programs supporting SS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Windows Notepad with SS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SS file still does not use the Windows Notepad program, it means no 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SS file with the Windows Notepad program.
Step 3. Update Windows Notepad to the latest version
If, however, after binding Windows Notepad with Scheme Source Code Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Microsoft Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SS file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SS file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SS 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 SS 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SS to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SS file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
